D.C.’s largest pro tennis tournament is returning this summer. The Citi Open, one of the country’s longest-running tennis tournaments, is returning at half-capacity from July 31 to August 8.

Because the tournament is limiting fan attendance, organizers expect tickets — which go on sale Friday — to get nabbed up quickly. Many tickets have also already been claimed by people who bought tickets for the tournament last year and renewed them for this year’s event.

Tournament organizers canceled the 2020 tournament last July, just a month after they indicated their initial intention to try and hold it. Ultimately, they said that international travel restrictions and “unsettling health and safety trends” caused by the coronavirus pandemic made executing the event impossible.

This year will mark the 52nd time the tennis tournament has been held in D.C., though it has gone by different names in the past (like the Legg Mason). Tennis legend Arthur Ashe is a big reason for the tournament’s existence; he played in it 11 times and won it in 1973. Ashe asked that the D.C. tennis tournament be played in an integrated neighborhood — and committed to play in it every year as long as Black people came and watched the matches. That’s one reason why the tournament is held in the Gold Coast, at the corner of 16th and Kennedy streets Northwest.

Mark Ein, a venture capitalist who owns the Washington Kastles, Esports team Washington Justice, and the Washington City Paper, purchased the tournament in 2019.
