British number one Heather Watson will have to come from a set down if she is to beat 13th-seed Angelique Kerber in their Miami Open second round encounter.
The clash was halted on Friday night due to rain and high winds, and will resume today at around midday local time, weather permitting.
The 22-year-old Watson will be disappointed to have let the first set slip away, having led 5-3, only for her German opponent to reel off four games in a row, saving a pair of set points in the process.
The match was delayed when Kerber had two set points of her own and, although the players were able to return briefly so she could close out the set, the rain soon returned and play was abandoned for the day.
Thrashing
Earlier, former World No 1 Victoria Azarenka continued her return to form after injury with a 6-1 6-1 thrashing of 20th seed Jelena Jankovic, who reached the final at Indian Wells last week.
Dual Miami Open champion Azarenka powered through the opening set in just 28 minutes.
Although the score-line was the same, the second set proved harder work, and the players contested a game featuring 12 deuces before the Belarussian served out the match.
In the next round she will face Flavia Pennetta of Italy, who was a 6-7 6-3 6-3 winner against Tsvetana Pironkova.
Third seed and Indian Wells champion Simona Halep needed three sets to beat Nicole Vaidisova 6-4 2-6 6-1 and she will next tackle Camila Giorgi, who beat Alison van Uytvanck 6-3 6-2.
American youngster CiCi Bellis may play the great Serena Williams in the next round after a 6-2 6-1 win over Zarina Diyas.
And fifth seed Ana Ivanovic beat Irina Falconi 7-5 6-7 6-3 and will face Sabine Lisicki in the third round after the German beat her compatriot Julia Georges 7-6 6-7 6-4.
