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.
