Ash Barty has won through to the Miami Open final, with the Australian downing Anett Kontaveit in straight sets.
It was the second match in succession for Barty to have featured a lengthy rain delay, with the match suspended early in the first set.
When they returned, Barty grabbed the break as her heavy forehand helped her close out the last seven points of the set - the final one on a Kontaveit double fault - to seal the opener 6-3.
The 22-year-old was broken and fell behind 3-1 in the second set, but Barty rallied to break back and levelled at 3-3.

From there, Barty completely wrested the momentum and was up two match points before Kontaveit threw in a clever drop shot to keep the Aussie guessing.
For about 20 seconds.
Barty didn't need a second invitation, firing an ace down the tee to seal the 6-3 6-3 win in 73 minutes.
Saturday's final will mark Barty's second final of the season after she nearly went all the way in Sydney in January, only to fall to Petra Kvitova at the final hurdle.
The Aussie enacted revenge for the Sydney loss - and subsequent Australian Open quarter-final defeat - over Kvitova in Miami earlier this week to set up the Kontaveit clash.
In her win over Kvitova, Barty also guaranteed a top 10 rankings spot for the first time in her career.
Barty will play Karolína Plíšková in the final after the Czech fifth seed ousted Simona Halep 7-5 6-1.
After a "very long day", Barty was pleased to reach another final, but acknowledged the challenges Plíšková or Halep would present.
"I know we have to wait around, but we can't control the weather," she said after the match.
"I've been doing the right things throughout the week to be able to put myself in a position to play for a title.
"You have to go out there and embrace it. I'm going to be playing against an extremely tough opponent regardless of who it is.
"I can go in there and play with freedom and try and play my brand of tennis."
She's on fire. @ashbar96 is on absolute fire. 🔥
