The WTA draw has been confirmed for the 2024 DC Open (Mubadala Citi DC Open for sponsorship purposes), which will take place from July 29 to August 4, 2024 and will feature a large number of top players who are not competing in the Olympic Games. For example, Aryna Sabalenka did not choose to take one of the neutral athlete spots and heads a large number of Russian players in this draw. She could face Katie Volynets in the second round. After shoulder problems, it will be Sabalenka’s first tournament in over a month, in which she has not played since Berlin. Daria Kasatkina is the second seed. She could face either Lesia Tsurenko or Caroline Dolehide. Ons Jabeur was another big name to miss the Olympic draw. She will face either Shelby Rogers or Robin Montgomery. Emma Raducanu has been criticized again this week for her decision not to compete in the Olympics. She seems to prefer to do ranking training and will once again face Elise Mertens, whom she swept at Wimbledon. Peyton Stearns could then be waiting in an intriguing fight. 
Emma Raducanu will be back in action next week.
Paula Badosa v Sofia Kenin is also a headline first round tie. The winner will face Liudmila Samsonova. While Victoria Azarenka is also playing this week and could face either Yafan Wang or Karolina Pliskova in the second round.
It was founded in 1969 by tennis icons Arthur Ashe, Donald Dell and John A. Harris. The event is held at the Rock Creek Park Tennis Center, making it one of the longest-running professional tennis events held in a public park.
Initially focused on men’s competition, the tournament was expanded to include women’s matches and became a combined ATP-WTA 500-level event. This status attracts top players from around the world, making it an important stop in the summer hard-court season leading up to the US Open.
The tournament has a storied history of champions, including Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Monica Seles, Kim Clijsters and Venus and Serena Williams. These champions have helped cement the event’s reputation for showcasing high-caliber tennis.
