Women’s tennis is returning to the Washington D.C. area this week with the inaugural Citi Open. It is an International level event, but look for it to become a much bigger tournament in a few years. While it’s not part of the U.S. Open Series, it is in my area, so I figured I would make some predictions for it anyway.The tournament features a respectable field, including Shahar Peer, Nadia...
