From a press release:
“The Citi Open has had Grand Slam champions before. Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Andre Agassi all won multiple Slams, but not 20!
That changed this morning, when tournament officials announced that all-time great and 20-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal will make his Washington debut this summer at the 2021 Citi Open, which will be held this year from July 31 – August 8 at the Rock Creek Park Tennis Center, heralding a historic return of Washington’s summer tennis tradition for the 52nd year.
Currently ranked No. 3 in the world, Nadal is arguably the greatest tennis player in the history of the sport. (more…)

Meghan and Allison let’s us know: “Heard a lot of big booms this morning…is it cannon practice day at Arlington National Cemetery?”
“Yes, @PoPville, we know. Cannons, Arlington, practice, etc.”
And last night readers reported starting around 9:45pm: “FYI, there was just an explosion somewhere around Delafield and Georgia. No idea what it was, but I heard/felt it at 13th and Delafield”
“Wtf is happening in Petworth/16th St Heights??? Copters, sirens, loud bang.”
“Dear PoPville,
On my way to work this morning, as I was attempting to clean my windshield …I turn on my wipers and realized someone removed my wiper blades.
As I continued driving to work my fuel cap indicator began to blink on my console. I pulled over thinking I needed to tighten up my fuel cap, and realized that was gone.
It would appear individuals are removing car parts from vehicles at night.
The only positive outcome is that the thieves did not vandalize my car!”
