The 2022 Citi Open will once again bring some of the world's best tennis stars to the nation's capital. As has become the norm in the District, another strong class of ATP and WTA players is set to square off in late July for a tournament title.
Headling the field on the men's side is former World No. 1 Andy Murray and for the women, reigning U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu.
The women's portion of the event is welcomed back after a brief hiatus last year. Considering COVID-19 limitations in the tour's schedule, Octogon - who owns the WTA sanction - moved the event to the West Coast. In it's place, the Citi Open held a women's exhibition where ranking points weren't on the line.

This will be the 53rd year for the Citi Open championship held from July 30-Aug. 7 at Rock Creek Park. It is just the 10th time there is a women's singles championship.
As a part of the U.S. Open series, the Citi Open is a hard-court tournament that serves as a warm-up event for the final major in Flushing Meadows, NY. It is a 500-level ATP event for the men's side, two tiers below a major. For the women, it's a 250-level event that has 16 fewer players in the bracket.
Last season, the 2021 Citi Open made waves by bringing in the highest-profile player in tournament history when Rafael Nadal made his return from injury in D.C. While the star power isn't as huge this season, there are still a ton of big names joining Murray and Raducanu.
