About Washington DC

Washington, DC, the U.S. capital, is a compact city on the Potomac River, bordering the states of Maryland and Virginia. It's defined by imposing neoclassical monuments and buildings including the iconic ones that house the federal government's 3 branches: the Capitol, White House and Supreme Court, but also its museums and performing-arts venues such as the Kennedy Center.

Jim Courier, commentating Thiem Laaksonen, said that the AO was playing like an ice rink this year. Interesting, in the conversations about surfaces.

Watching the end of Young v. Nishikori. Young has hung in valiantly, and they're in a 3rd set TB.
