01:48 CET - Jannik Sinner defeats Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4 to become the first Italian ever to win a Sunshine Double and the first man to win it in nine years - the last being Roger Federer (2017)! He's also the first man in tennis history to earn a Sunshine Double without dropping a single set.
He has not dropped a single set in the last three Masters tournaments. This now makes it 17 straight wins in Masters events, his seventh Masters title (second in Miami), and his 26th overall ATP title.
01:00 CET - Play has resumed as Sinner and Lehecka are tied up 1-1 in the second set.
23:24 CET - The rain returns! The heavens have opened in Miami, and the players have had to quickly vacate the court.
There are grey clouds aplenty overhead, so it may be a while before this gets going again.
23:19 CET - Sinner is a step closer to sealing the Sunshine Double, with the Italian claiming the first set 6-4 after 47 minutes.
Lehecka served well on the whole, and even had three break points immediately after being broken himself, but he couldn't take them.
Getting more in the second set won't be easy, with Sinner winning 17 out of 17 points when he's got his first serve in so far.
22:31 CET - We're finally underway! Lehecka is serving first, just as blue skies appear above the court. Hopefully that's that for today's rain!

18:43 CET - As for Jiri Lehecka, the Czech has already secured his best-ever Masters result by reaching the final, and is subsequently set to rise to a career-high ranking on Monday.
He produced a statement performance to beat sixth seed Taylor Fritz in the fourth round, before dismantling the supremely talented Arthur Fils in the semi-finals.
Notably, the 24-year-old is yet to lose his serve all tournament, so he'll need to continue that dominance behind his first delivery to stand any chance against his Italian opponent tonight.
17:38 CET - Jannik Sinner has been at his clinical best throughout the tournament, sweeping aside the likes of Alexander Zverev, Frances Tiafoe and Alex Michelsen en route to the final - all without dropping a set.
In fact, the Italian is on a truly remarkable run at Masters level, winning 16 consecutive matches in straight sets, claiming titles in Paris and Indian Wells in the process.
He is now just one victory away from becoming the first men's player since Roger Federer in 2017 to win the Sunshine Double.
An achievement that would further cement his reputation as the dominant force in hard-court men's tennis.
