Rafael Jodar will shoot for his first hard-court championship on the ATP Tour, taking on Taylor Fritz in what many expect to be a thrilling showdown.
Current Form:
Taylor Fritz earned his fourth trip to the final this year after outdueling Brandon Nakashima 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Fritz survived a three-set thriller for the second straight day after also surviving Alex Michelsen 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 in the quarterfinals. Fritz is now 11-7 on the hard court in 2026.
Rafael Jodar reached his first ATP 500 hard-court final after clawing from a set down to beat the pesky Alejandro Tabilo 6-7, 6-4, 6-4. The Spanish rising star has beaten several prominent names on his way to the final at D.C, defeating Arthur Fils, Kei Nishikori, Lorenzo Musetti and now Tabilo.
The Matchup: Jodar and Fritz will play each other for the first time since their first encounter at the Delray Beach Open. Fritz won that match in straight sets, but that win came before Jodar broke through during the clay-court swing.
