- Jack Draper has withdrawn from the Mubadala DC Open due to a left arm injury, marking a nother setback in a year plagued by fitness issues that saw him miss the first three Grand Slam events.
- Draper, whose ranking has fallen to 147, was replaced in the tournament draw by lucky loser Mackenzie McDonald, as he reportedly focuses on upcoming ATP Tour events in Montreal and Cincinnati, and the US Open.
- Cameron Norrie ended a six-match losing streak by defeating American Aleksandar Kovacevic 6-4 6-1 at the Miffel Tennis Open in Los Cabos, advancing to the last 16.
- Norrie, the fifth seed, recovered from losing his serve in the opening game to dominate the match, particularly a one-sided second set, and will now face either James Duckworth or Aidan Mayo.
- Katie Boulter was defeated by American Ashlyn Krueger 3-6 6-2 6-2 in Washington, despite a promising start where she clinched the first set, with Krueger now set to play Naomi Osaka.
