Play in the Washington Open men's doubles final was halted on Sunday afternoon when heavy rain swept over the American capital. The interruption stopped the doubles decider between British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool and Austin Krajicek and Nikola Mektic.
Match interrupted in second set
The contest was in the second set when the downpour began, after Cash and Glasspool had taken the opening set. Tournament organisers released an emergency statement after the heavy rain brought the match to a standstill.
The stoppage comes with players across the sport preparing for the US Open in New York, the final Grand Slam of the year, which begins later this month.
