<h1>Hailey Baptiste's Inspiring Return to the Mubadala Citi DC Open</h1>
<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Hailey Baptiste grew up just a short distance from the Rock Creek Park Tennis Center, where her family still resides. She fondly recalls watching Venus and Serena Williams play for the Washington Kastles in World Team Tennis.</p>
<p>“It’s amusing,” Baptiste shared with reporters on Saturday. “Just two nights ago, I was watching a video from when I attended a Kastles match with the [Washington Tennis and Education Foundation]. I had the chance to play doubles with Venus when I was about four or five years old. It's wild to think that happened, and maybe it could again in the future.”</p>
<p>Baptiste embodies a true local success story. Now 23, she returns to the Mubadala Citi DC Open as a Top 50 player in the Hologic WTA Tour. Her journey began at an after-school program at the William Fitzgerald Tennis Center and continued at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in nearby College Park, Maryland.</p>
<p>The past few months have been remarkable for Baptiste. She won both her Billie Jean King Cup qualifying matches against Denmark and Slovakia, helping the United States secure a spot in the 2025 finals. Baptiste then advanced to the fourth round at Roland Garros, marking her best performance in a major, followed by a third-round finish at Wimbledon. She currently holds a career-high ranking of No. 48.</p>
<p>“This is probably my favorite week of the year,” Baptiste remarked. “I've been attending this tournament every year since it started, so it holds a lot of meaning for me. While I wouldn’t say there’s pressure, I certainly want to perform well at my home tournament.”</p>
<p>In her first main-draw match at 17, Baptiste made headlines by defeating Madison Keys. After losing to Jessica Pegula in the first round in 2022, she qualified the following year and scored an upset against former World No. 1 Karolina Pliskova before falling to Coco Gauff. Baptiste qualified again last year but lost to Victoria Azarenka.</p>
<p>Baptiste reminisces about the impressive photographs of competing stars displayed outside Fitzgerald Stadium and is thrilled to now be featured on them, thanks to Mubadala Citi DC Open Chairman Mark Ein’s kind gesture. “Mark put my picture on the stadium, which is incredible,” she said. “As a young kid watching the tournament and now being one of the faces on that stadium is just amazing.”</p>
