World number two Jannik Sinner was a set away from a historic achievement when rain suspended play during the ATP Masters 1000 final in Miami on Sunday.
After a one-hour delay to the start of the match, the Italian star secured the first set 6-4 against 22nd-ranked Jiri Lehecka.
Sinner, who is aiming to become the first man since 2017 to sweep both the Indian Wells and Miami titles in the same season, broke Lehecka’s formidable serve for the first time in the tournament to gain an early 2-1 advantage.
Despite the pressure from the Czech underdog, who earned three break points in the fourth game, Sinner relied on his powerful serve to maintain his lead.
Lehecka, competing in his first Masters 1000 final, was serving at the start of the second set when a second wave of showers forced both players off the court.
The match remains in a holding pattern as organisers wait for the weather to clear at Hard Rock Stadium.
The victory would mark a significant milestone for Sinner, solidifying his status as a four-time Grand Slam champion and a dominant force on hard courts this season.
For Lehecka, the final represents a career-best performance, having reached the title match without dropping a set until meeting Sinner.
Fans and officials are monitoring forecasts closely, hoping to complete the final tonight.
