It’s semifinals Saturday at the 2025 Mubadala Citi DC Open today, with a full day of singles and doubles action at William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center in Washington, DC.
The night session features Ben Shelton continuing his breakout summer with a semifinal against Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, while lucky loser Corentin Moutet takes on Alex de Minaur in the earlier evening singles match.
Earlier in the day, the women’s draw heats up as Leylah Fernandez faces Elena Rybakina (3), followed by Anna Kalinskaya vs. Emma Raducanu on Stadium Court. Both semifinals could shape a compelling women’s final on Sunday.
Below, we highlight the top matches and provide the full schedule.
Spotlight Matches
Ben Shelton (4) vs. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (12)
Stadium Court, follows Corentin Moutet vs. Alex de Minaur, not before 8:30 PM Eastern
Shelton continues to showcase his massive lefty serve and heavy forehand. Davidovich Fokina’s speed and shot-making give him the tools to disrupt Shelton’s rhythm, but he’ll need to neutralize the serve to have a chance. It’ll be a tough task. Frances Tiafoe had no answer for it last night.
Corentin Moutet (LL) vs. Alex de Minaur (7)
Stadium Court, not before 7:00 PM Eastern
Moutet’s crafty left-handed game and soft hands have made him the surprise of the tournament, while de Minaur’s relentless speed and defense make him the favorite to advance.
Leylah Fernandez vs. Elena Rybakina (3)
Stadium Court, not before 2:30 PM Eastern
A clash of styles: Fernandez’s counterpunching and speed versus Rybakina’s towering serve and flat groundstrokes. Rybakina, the No. 3 seed, is the clear favorite but must handle Fernandez’s defensive skills in humid conditions.
Anna Kalinskaya vs. Emma Raducanu
Stadium Court, follows Fernandez vs. Rybakina
Raducanu is looking to reach her biggest final since her 2021 U.S. Open title run. Kalinskaya, meanwhile, is in her first DC semifinal and will rely on her consistency to frustrate Raducanu’s attacking game.
