Rafael Jodar to Face Taylor Fritz in Washington Open Final After Rain Delay

Heavy rain on Sunday forced the organizers of the Mubadala DC Open in Washington, D.C. to postpone the men's ATP 500 final to Monday, August 3, 2026. The match will be played after the women's final between Jessica Pegula and Alexandra Eala and will not start before 13:00 local time (19:00 in Spain).

Spain’s 19‑year‑old Rafael Jodar, now ranked No. 15 in the world after a rapid rise from outside the top 100, earned his first ATP‑500 final by defeating Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo 6‑7(6), 6‑4, 6‑4 in the semifinals. American Taylor Fritz, world No. 10, reached the final by overcoming compatriot Brandon Nakashima 6‑3, 3‑6, 6‑2. Fritz is seeking his first title of the season, while a win for Jodar would lift him into the top‑12 and mark a historic first ATP‑500 title for a Spanish player at Washington.

The final will be broadcast on various sports channels and streaming platforms worldwide, with U.S. coverage on the Tennis Channel and European coverage on Sky Sports and other regional networks.
