Citi Open Tennis
Saturday, July 28- Sunday, August 5
16th & Kennedy, NW, Washington, DC
The 2018 Citi Open is an ATP World Tour 500 tournament, making it one of the top 20 men’s tournaments in the world.
WDCSA has the same six platinum box seats to all sessions as in previous years (Aisle 36, Section 3). The seats are at the end of the court and very close to the court and provide access to the air-conditioned Emirates Garden Club restaurant. We also have six upper level seats (Section 6, Row N, Seats 26-31) which are near the top of the stadium in the corner.
The featured matches are generally held in the main court where seating is reserved with the remainder in the outside courts where seating is open. Tickets also include the women’s WTA International Level Event to be held on the same courts during this week.
Please email bill@billpegram.com indicating the number and type of tickets desired, the session, and parking passes desired. Bill will process requests in the order they are received, confirm availability by return email, and provide instructions for payment.

Stanford In the News
- Demand for computer science skills is at a record high, and colleges and universities nationwide are struggling to keep pace with rising enrollments in CS courses. To help address the problem, a Stanford professor launched a pilot master’s program two years ago to train PhDs from other disciplines in computer science education. Stanford’s Computer Science Department recently announced that the program will continue this fall as a graduate certificate program. The year-long program, which will run through summer 2019, is currently accepting applications on a rolling basis for fall quarter.
- Computer scientists at Stanford Universityhave founded the Center for Blockchain Research, an initiative dedicated to researching and understanding the technology, to provide the best educational opportunities, as part of a five-year research program.
