Tennis-Rain disrupts Washington Open final, halts play

Rain disrupted tennis tournaments across North America on Sunday, delaying the Washington Open women's final between American Jessica Pegula and the Philippines' Alexandra Eala, cancelling the evening session at the Canadian Open in Montreal and halting play in Toronto.



Pegula had taken the opening set 6-4 against Eala in Washington, but the final was suspended with Eala leading 2-1 in the second set.



The match had already been delayed by three hours before it began.



Weather conditions also affected the Canadian Open events, with the women's tournament taking place in Toronto and the men's event in Montreal.
