A look at the best in social media from the past week.

Taste of Tennis returns in Washington D.C.

The Citi Open official player party is one of the pro tour's favorite parties, and that's because it has quite a few things going in its favor. For one, it features the combined star power of both WTA and ATP players, with the tournament hosting a 250-level event for women and a 500-level for the men. Whenever the tours collide, there's always a great vibe around the grounds.

Another huge bonus? Washington D.C.'s Taste of Tennis event was the official player party, featuring celebrity and local chefs as well as some of the best food in the DMV. The tournament's top players Andrey Rublev, birthday girl Victoria Azarenka, home favorites Taylor Fritz and Madison Brengle, and more were on hand cooking dishes, slinging drinks and hamming it up with VIP guests.

As if that wasn't enough, the party took place on Sunday evening at the same hotel that the players are staying in, the Omni Shoreham Hotel—which makes for a seamless commute and an even smoother exit.
