WASHINGTON -- The Mubadala DC Open final between World No. 3 Jessica Pegula and No. 28 Alexandra Eala will resume not before 7 p.m. at the earliest because of rain in the Washington DC area.
Pegula currently leads 6-4, 1-2 at the second changeover of the second set.
The final was originally scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. local, but because of scattered thunderstorms, the players did not go on court until approximately 3 p.m. Precipitation resumed midway through the second set, and play was suspended at 3:57:43 p.m.
Eala is pursuing her first career WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz title, while Pegula is seeking her second Washington DC title (2019) and 12th overall.
