After the Championship’s ending, it’s already time to think to the next step, because, as we all know, tennis never stops. This tournament has always been in a tricky point of the season, for sereval reasons. First, this competion is played on hardcourts, which means that all the tennis players, who come from Wimbledon, don’t have much time to prepare themselves for the change of the surface. Then, it’s difficult for the players to come one hundred percent motivated, because, after the clay season and the grass tournaments, muscles are burned and their minds are splitted beetween the desire of chilling and already the will of organise, as better as they can, the preparation for the Us Open. And when Olympics Games take place (this year is not the case), many athlete are forced to skip Washington. Besides this, the tournament has always been very important for the american summer swing. It’s played in the capital, it’s the first big tennis event since Miami in the USA and in the list of the champions of the tournament there are many multiple slam’s winners (not only american).

The incredible return of Venus Williams at 45

Yes, it’s all true. After a year without any matches, the sister of Serena have received a wildcard from the organizers. Apparently she was retired, but now all the eyes of the tennis world will be on her, maybe this time for the last. We are all curious about the level of her game and many people fear that it will be difficult for her only to step again on a tennis court at this age in a tournament of that level of competition. It will be a miracle for her to pass the first round. Indeed, there will be players like the recent finalist of Wimbledon, Anisimova, and also Badosa, Fernandez, Kenin, Navarro, Pegula, Raducanu and Rybakina.

Fritz and Medvedev for the crown, will Kyrgios and Monfils play as double partners?

In the men’s tournament Taylor Fritz will be on the top of the seed. The number five of the world is ready to open his campaign, trying to win his maiden title on home soil, following the footsteps of his childhood hero, Andy Roddick. With him the most excited tennis players to watch will be his friend, Tommy paul, and of course the hardcourt’ specialist, Daniil Medvedev. You must pay attention also to Musetti, Rublev and De Minaur. But maybe, the most interesting news come from the doubles’ draw, in which probably Kyrgios and Monfils will match up. Another super partner for Nick, after the partecipation in Adelaide with Novak Djokovic. The two showmen would bring their best plays and maybe they could have eventually the possibility to reach the final. Let’s see! Washington will be live from July 21.
