The final match of the Mubadala DC Open has been moved to Monday due to rain in Washington D.C. Players Taylor Fritz and Rafael Jodar were scheduled to face off on Sunday but organizers confirmed the delay to ensure conditions are safe for play. The match will now begin no earlier than 1 p.m. local time.
Fritz is a third seed looking for his first tour title of the year. His opponent is Rafael Jodar, a 19-year-old rising player who has already secured a career-high ranking of World No. 15 regardless of the match outcome. A win for Jodar would push his ranking to World No. 12.
The two players have met once before on the ATP Tour. Taylor Fritz defeated Jodar in straight sets earlier this season at the tournament in Delray Beach. This upcoming final follows the conclusion of the women's championship match between Jessica Pegula and Alexandra Eala.
Tournament officials made the decision to prioritize player safety and court quality as wet weather persisted throughout the afternoon. Fans holding tickets for the Sunday session should check tournament communications for details regarding entry for the Monday completion of the event.
