Naming

[edit]

rockcreektennis.com says "Rock Creek Park Tennis Center surrounds William H.G. Fitzgerald Tennis Stadium" - so distinguishing between the tennis center (named for the location, Rock Creek) and the stadium (named for Fitzgerald). But the Citi Open website only describes the location as "Rock Creek Park Tennis Center" without specifically mentioning the stadium at all. However, Rock Creek's Facebook page says "The Rock Creek Tennis Center surrounds William H.G. Fitzgerald Tennis Stadium, home of Citi Open Tennis Classic". And to add to the confusion, Google Maps shows Rock Creek Tennis Stadium and describes it as "located in Fitzgerald Tennis Center" (which, in turn, is described as "located in Rock Creek Park". Other sources add to the confusion - stubhub's entry is titled "Fitzgerald Tennis Center" but actually says "The William H.G. Fitzgerald Stadium is a tennis venue that is part of the Rock Creek Tennis Center". Google Street View clearly shows the stadium emblazoned with the name "William H. G. FitzGerald Tennis Center", which at least means this article's title is probably right. But a little more detail on the relation/distinction between the name of the Center and of the stadium would be helpful in the article, if any editor has more knowledge than I can gain from some quick Googling. Also, there is clearly a space between the H. and G., which, luckily, corresponds to normal Wikipedia practice for people's initials - should we change the article title to match?
