Rafael Nadal via Citi Open
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…)

“Dear PoPville,
I recently retired after nearly 40 years working in hospitality in this amazing city of ours. I am planning to move overseas but would very much like to leave “a mark” behind me. I am hoping to find someone with space for a mural, as well as an artist to collaborate with.
Specifically, I would like to honor the musician, Gil Scott Heron. Gil lived and taught, recorded, and performed in DC for ten of his most influential years in this town. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
The super nice weather today is inspiring me to look into more outdoorsy activities. I have a pair of roller skates I haven’t used in about a year or so and was wondering if you had any recommendations of where to skate around the District? The National Mall is an obvious first choice but I wanted to see if anybody had any other spots they’d recommend.”
Ed. Note: This is also a good time for our annual reminder, “Did you know there is a National Park in DC with roller skating? Now you do.”
