By ATP staff
Rain delayed the Atlanta Open final for the second time on Sunday.
Jordan Thompson and Yoshihito Nishioka started late with Australia leading 6-4, 4-5 and with just three points to play again, heavy rain began to fall at the ATP 250, requiring the players to leave the court. Play is scheduled to resume before 10:30 pm local time.
Thompson, who leads 6-4, 4-5, 30/15, will continue to serve if the match continues. The 30-year-old is looking for his second tour-level title of the season, having already won in Los Cabos.
Should Thompson win, it will be his first victory against Japan's Nishioka, who leads the Lexus ATP Head2Head series 4-0. The Australian will move up to a new career No. 29 in Monday's PIF ATP Rankings.
Nishioka, 28, is seeking his third Tour title and first since 2022 Seoul.
