DC’s summer tradition, the Citi Open Tennis Tournament, is now on sale at www.citiopentennis.com. Fans can now buy single session/daily tickets for the August 1-9 tournament at the Rock Creek Tennis Center.
Early commitments to the tournament include World No. 3, Wimbledon champion, and Olympic gold medalist Andy Murray; U.S. Open finalist Kei Nishikori; and two-time Grand Slam champion Lleyton Hewitt. Full player fields for the men’s and women’s draws will be determined and announced approximately six weeks prior to the start of the tournament.
“These tickets are truly some of the closest seats fans will get to their favorite players,” said Jeff Newman, Tournament Director. “The intimate setting that is the Rock Creek Park Tennis Center gives fans a chance not only to watch these players in action, but many chances to interact with them as well.”
Qualifying rounds begin Saturday, August 1, at 10 a.m. Main draw play begins Monday, August 3, with top seed players in the men’s field first expected to play on Tuesday and Wednesday. Quarterfinals are on Friday, August 7, semifinals are on Saturday, August 8, and finals are on Sunday, August 9.
Each ticket provides fans access to the action on all six match courts for up to as many as 24 matches per session in the early rounds providing tremendous value for the ticket price. A ticket provides fans with one reserved seat on Stadium Court, as well as general admission on all outer courts on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets to gain admission to the tournament’s signature special events will be announced soon.
With world-class tennis, signature food and drink events, and live entertainment, it’s no wonder this tournament has been the Capital Tennis Tradition for 47 years.
