Serena Williams vs. Caroline Garcia suspended because of rain

The Miami Masters third-round tie between Serena Williams and Caroline Garcia has been suspended because of rain.

The world number one was leading 3-1 in the third set when it started pouring and play had to be suspended.

Williams won the first set 6-4, but suffered a loss in the second by the same margin to her 20-year-old French opponent.

However, the 32-year-old was on course to staging a successful comeback in the third and decisive set when play was suspended.
