Legg Mason Tennis Classic - Washington

An ATP 500 on outdoor hard in Washington, before Toronto and Cincinnati. The court plays slower than these players are used to, so the ball sits up and the returner gets a look in. Holds still sit at 81% and sets run long, with tiebreaks turning up in about one in five, and most matches end in straights. Sturdy baseliners and heavy servers have both done well here.
