WASHINGTON — Leylah Fernandez’s second-round match at the Citi DC Open will have to wait.

Play was suspended due to rain for the night after an hours-long delay due to the weather on Thursday. The announcement was made via the tournament’s Twitter account.

Fernandez of Laval, Que., was scheduled to face fourth-seeded Maria Sakkari of Greece. 

It wasn’t made clear when exactly the match would be rescheduled for.

Earlier in the day, Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and partner Shuko Aoyama of Japan defeated American duo Madison Keys and Jennifer Brady 6-1, 3-6, 10-7 in quarterfinal action.
