Venus and Serena Open Revamped D.C. Tennis Center

Tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams helped unveil renovations of the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center in Washington.

The Department of Parks and Recreation facility has undergone an $18 million renovation that was unveiled Friday. The facility, which opened in 2001, will have six new outdoor courts and six indoor courts in addition to an outdoor clay court.

The indoor part of the facility will be called the Williams Arena after the sisters.

The renovations were paid for by a grant and earmark from the D.C. government.
