Jordan Thompson and Yoshihito Nishioka were locked in a tight championship match at the Atlanta Open Sunday afternoon when rain began to fall, suspending the match with Thompson leading 6-4, 4-5. Play is scheduled to resume not before 6:30 p.m. local time.
Thompson will serve to stay in the second set when play resumes. The 30-year-old is aiming for his second tour-level title of the season, having also won Los Cabos.
Should Thompson win, it would mark his first victory against Japan’s Nishioka, who leads their Lexus ATP Head2Head series 4-0. The Australian would also ascend to a new career-high No. 29 in Monday’s PIF ATP Rankings.
Nishioka, 28, is searching for his third tour-level title and first since 2022 Seoul.
