The Spanish player, who had battled back from a 3-0 deficit in the second set, ultimately couldn't overcome Fritz's powerful serving. Jódar lost the first set tie-break before mounting a comeback that fell just short.
Fritz needed five match points to secure victory, demonstrating his dominance despite Jódar's resilience. The match, originally scheduled for Sunday, was postponed due to rain conditions in Washington. likesport.biz
