Taylor Fritz wins Mubadala DC Open title

No. 3 seed Taylor Fritz lifted his first trophy since June 2025 when he swept Spanish up-and-comer Rafael Jodar 7-6 (2), 6-4 in the final of the Mubadala DC Open on ​Monday afternoon in Washington.

The final was rescheduled to Monday due to inclement weather ‌in the region on Sunday. Both players will now have a quick turnaround to travel to Montreal for the ATP Masters 1000 event that began there on Sunday.

Fritz had lost his past four tour-level finals ​since collecting a pair of titles in June of last year at Stuttgart, Germany, ​and Eastbourne, England. Fritz won the match on his fifth championship point ⁠of the final game, saving one break point along the way.

Fritz won 39 of his ​48 first-serve points (81.3%) and had a 6-5 edge in aces over Jodar, the 19-year-old rookie who ​was seeking his second title of the season.

"It was a really tough final and you are having an amazing season and at 19, on your first season on Tour, what you and your dad are doing ​is just incredible," Fritz said to Jodar. "You are so young and are only going to ​get so much better."
