Hours of rain and uncertainty led to a late Sunday announcement by the Mubadala DC Open to cancel the women's and men's finals matches.
Jessica Pegula and Alexandra Eala played for about an hour before leaving the court at around 4 PM EDT. Pegula won the first set 6-4. The second set was on serve 2-1 with Eala leading. Pegula will be up to serve when play resumes.
The women, as well as the men, Taylor Fritz and Rafael Jodar, desperately wanted to play tennis on Sunday. They wanted to travel to Toronto and Montreal, respectively, where the National Bank Open WTA and ATP 1000 tournaments got underway on Sunday. The match schedule at those tournaments was also affected by rain, supending play.
