Friday August 4, the 1/4 finals
Taylor Fritz ???????? vs Jordan Thompson ???????? : 6/3 6/3
Often comfortable and efficient when he plays in his country, Fritz leaves no chance to his rival.
Jeffrey John Wolf ???????? vs Tallon Greek track ???????? : 5/7 4/6
This Dutch player does not often make the headlines but he is nevertheless approaching a place in the Top 30 at the ATP.
Grigor Dimitrov ???????? vs Ugo Humbert ????????: WO (thigh injury for the Frenchman)
Daniel Evans ???????? vs Frances Tiafoe ???????? : 6/4 7/5
The British player, who thought he was quitting tennis a few weeks ago, has obviously regained his desire and a high level.

Saturday August 5, the 1/2 finals
Taylor Fritz ???????? vs Tallon Greek track ???????? : 6/3 3/6 2/6
In great shape, the Dutch player, very solid behind his serve, creates a surprise and puts an end to the 7 consecutive successes of a Fritz beaten in the exchange.
Grigor Dimitrov ???????? vs Daniel Evans ???????? 3/6 6/7
The 33-year-old Briton took full advantage of the feverishness, as usual in important matches, and Dimitrov’s many faults to obtain an almost unexpected place in the final.
…
Sunday August 6, Final
Tallon Greek track ???????? vs Daniel Evans ???????? : 5/7 3/6
Dream week and outcome for the 33-year-old Briton who offers himself a second career title, the most beautiful, and climbs 9 places at the ATP to now point to 21st in the world, his best ranking.
Since his arrival on US soil, Evans has completely transformed. Forgot the one who lost too often in the first round, to transform himself, quite incredible, into the winner of an ATP 500.
Very good behind his serve throughout the tournament, he will remain so in the final by saving the 4 break points obtained by Griekspoor, while achieving his own.
“I didn’t play very well this last match, but against Tallon it’s not easy. But this match, this victory, enhances my superb week in Washington and does me a lot of good.” said Daniel Evans.
