Rain suspends Miami Open men's final after Sinner takes first set

Jannik Sinner won the first set 6-4 against Jiri Lehecka in the Miami Open men's singles final before heavy rain forced a suspension early in the second set. The match at Hard Rock Stadium marks the latest weather disruption in a tournament plagued by rain since March 15. Play halted until conditions improve.

Jannik Sinner, the world No. 2, started strongly in the final at Hard Rock Stadium, breaking Lehecka's serve in the third game of the first set.

Just three points into the second set, rain returned, sending players off court until further notice, as shown in footage from ESPN Tenis and Market Deportivo on March 29.
