Taylor Fritz advanced to the Washington Open final after defeating fellow American Brandon Nakashima in a three-set semifinal match. Fritz secured his spot in the championship by winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in one hour and 46 minutes, breaking Nakashima's serve once in each set.

This victory marks Fritz's first appearance in the Washington Open final and his fourth final of the year. He has previously reached finals in Dallas and Stuttgart, losing to Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe, respectively.

Fritz holds a dominant 5-0 record against his potential final opponents, Rafael Jódar and Alejandro Tabilo. He defeated Jódar in straight sets earlier this year in Delray Beach and has beaten Tabilo four times, most recently in Indian Wells in 2025.
