Altitude Washington D.C. sits at approximately 7 meters (23 feet) above sea level along the Potomac River on the mid-Atlantic coast. This near sea-level elevation has no effect on ball speed or bounce — playing conditions here are shaped entirely by the surface and the notoriously brutal summer heat and humidity of the American capital.
Humidity Late July and early August in Washington D.C. bring some of the most extreme heat and humidity of any tournament on the ATP and WTA calendars. Average temperatures during tournament week range from 23°C to 34°C (73°F–93°F), with humidity frequently exceeding 80% — conditions that are physically punishing and heavily test player endurance. Afternoon thunderstorms are common and often cause significant delays, compressing the schedule in the later stages of the week.
Outdoor Tournament The Mubadala DC Open is played outdoors at Rock Creek Park Tennis Center in Washington D.C., with the main action taking place on the Stadium Court. The tournament has a rich history dating back to the late 1960s and holds the distinction of being one of the few events that runs both an ATP 500 and a WTA 500 draw simultaneously at the same venue, making it a combined week for both tours in the heart of the American summer hard-court swing.
Surface The hard courts at Rock Creek Park play medium-fast, a typical characteristic of outdoor American hard courts in summer conditions. The extreme heat bakes the surface firm and keeps the ball low and quick, heavily rewarding big servers and aggressive baseliners who can handle the physical demands of competing in punishing humidity. The conditions are widely considered among the most grueling of the entire North American swing.
