WASHINGTON (AP) — The women’s final at the DC Open has been suspended until Monday with Jessica Pegula leading Alexandra Eala 6-4, 1-2.

Rain in the afternoon and evening Sunday prevented the match from being completed. It’s scheduled to resume at noon Monday, followed by the men’s final between Taylor Fritz and Rafael Jodar.

Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool defeated Austin Krajicek and Nikola Mektic 6-3, 6-4 for the men’s doubles title.

Lane Kiffin stands by D.J. Pickett wearing the No. 5 of former LSU QB Jayden Daniels

LSU coach Lane Kiffin said Thursday that he is standing by his initial stance on allowing cornerback D.J. Pickett to wear the No. 5 jersey previously worn by 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels — even in the face of objections and legal threats from the former Tigers quarterback. “I commented a week ago on that,” Kiffin said after practice in Baton Rouge. “That's the comment that I had and we're moving forward.” LSU's official online store has removed replica Daniels jerseys from the menu of those for sale, which include the No. 9 of 2019 Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow and the No. 3 of former star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Meanwhile, Pickett showed no interest in relinquishing the No. 5 when he spoke with reporters after Thursday's practice.
