The rain delays the final between Jódar and Fritz in Washington

Very bad news coming from Washington regarding the final between Rafael Jódar and Taylor Fritz. Initially, the match was supposed to start around 8:30 PM (mainland time), but due to the rain, the match will not take place until after midnight in Spain. 

In fact, first the women's final between Jessica Pegula and Alexandra Eala needs to finish, which the American is leading with a score of 6-4 1-2. The tournament has stated through its social media that the players will not return to the court, at least, until 11:00 PM, and once the match is over, Jódar and Fritz will take to the court. The storm could last until 2:00 AM (Spain time), meaning the match between the Spaniard and the American could finish quite late.

The rain allows Jódar to rest more

On one hand, this is news that negatively affects the spectators in Spain, as tomorrow is a working Monday and many people who planned to watch the match will no longer be able to do so. However, this is good for Jódar to rest, as he finished his match against Alejandro Tabilo late yesterday and had less time to prepare than Fritz.

The Washington tournament has not been the only one affected by the weather conditions, as both WTA Toronto and ATP Montreal have seen matches interrupted several times. Therefore, a long night of tennis is expected where patience will be required to see what happens in a match vital to Jódar's interests, as he could add the most important title of his career to his achievements if he defeats a top 10 player like Fritz.
