The China Open final between Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer will resume on Monday due to persistent rain in Beijing.
World number two and defending champion Djokovic leads 3-1 in the first set.
The match had been due to begin at 4:00 pm at the Olympic Green Tennis Centre in Beijing, but heavy rain forced organisers to postpone play for more than four hours.
When the players did take the court, the 23-year-old Djokovic got off to a blistering start, breaking Ferrer to lead 3-1.
Twenty minutes into the match, heavy rain again fell, forcing play to be halted. Organisers said the match would resume at 12:00pm on Monday.
Both Djokovic and Ferrer are due in Shanghai this week for the ATP Masters event, with Ferrer scheduled to play his first match there on Tuesday.
The WTA women’s final between top seed Caroline Wozniacki and second seed Vera Zvonareva will also be played on Monday.
The genius chained to the official table, should die or go mad, in the same way, as the person with a mighty constitution at sedentary life and modest behavior dies of an apoplectic seizure.
