WASHINGTON — The court temperature might have reached an absurd 141 degrees Saturday at Rock Creek Park Tennis Center, site of the 2016 Citi Open. But the competitors — along with the Geico gecko mascot — persevered through the stifling conditions on the hard surface.
The Men’s Final will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday between Ivo Karlovic of Croatia against Gael Monfils of France. On Saturday, Karlovic defeated American Steve Johnson 6-4, 6-4 to advance first, and Monfils got past Germany’s Alexander Zverev 6-4, 6-0 in the second men’s semifinal match.
