Mubadala Citi DC Open - Washington

A WTA 500 on outdoor hard in Washington, between Prague and the Montreal week at the site the men share. The Har-Tru hard court gives a medium pace on a true bounce, out in the weather, which keeps the serve ahead without killing the return. Sets stay tight and a big name is vulnerable on any given afternoon. Flat, early-strike baseliners profit. Best of three.
