Rain has again cursed Auckland's WTA event, with showers delaying the final.
World No.7 Coco Gauff will play off against Spaniard Rebeka Masarova in the tournament decider, which was due to begin at 5pm NZDT.
However, a beautiful day in New Zealand's biggest city gave way to showers just 10 minutes before the match was due to begin.
As of 5:30pm, heavy showers have been replaced by occasional drizzle, with organisers hopeful of a 6pm start time.
Rain has dogged the tournament this week, forcing two days' play indoors on training courts without fans.
When play gets underway, top seed Gauff will gun for a third WTA title that will confirm her status as an Australian Open contender.
Masarova, the world No.130, is a surprise finalist who has won through from qualifying, including a first-round victory over second seed Sloane Stephens.
