The Citi Open Washington is an ATP 500 tournament that is hosted in Washington, DC and is considered part of the US Open series during the summer.
The prestigious event has seen several American tennis players lift the trophy, with Andre Agassi hoisting it a record five times. Australian Nick Kyrgios won the last edition in 2019, with the tournament cancelled in 2020 due to the global pandemic.
This year's event will feature a host of ATP stars as they prepare for the US Open, with Rafael Nadal announcing his entry into the competition. Joining the World No.3 are defending champion Kyrgios, Canadian ace Felix Auger-Aliassime, as well as 2021 Wimbledon semifinalist Hubert Hurkacz. The United States will also be represented, as Sebastian Korda, Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz have all accepted entry into the event.
The tournament, which features a 48-player singles draw and a 16-man doubles event, will run from August 02-08 2021.
