About Washington DC

Washington, DC, the U.S. capital, is a compact city on the Potomac River, bordering the states of Maryland and Virginia.

She needs to postpone her engagement and sync up with Kamau Murray..she is wasting her prime tennis years.. Madison is what Tossip has said always..just a mindless ball basher

Well it has only been 3 months since Sven Groeneveld has been Sloane's new coach,who has a lot of experience in the WTA.Personally I think it is too early to judge.I gave up on Maddison a long time ago,who has has more coaching changes,frankly I have lost count:)
