World number two Jannik Sinner delivered a commanding performance to defeat Jiri Lehecka 6–4, 6–4, clinching the Miami Open title for the second time.
The victory caps a remarkable run for the Italian, who adds the Miami crown to his recent triumph at Indian Wells Masters, completing the prestigious “Sunshine Double.”
With this win, Sinner becomes the first man to sweep both Indian Wells and Miami since Roger Federer in 2017.
Even more impressively, he achieved the feat without dropping a single set throughout both tournaments.
The final, played in Miami, faced multiple rain delays.
First, showers delayed the start. Then, another stoppage came after Sinner had already taken the opening set.
However, the interruptions did little to shake his focus.
He dominated with:
- 10 aces
- 33 of 36 points won on first serve
In addition, his return game proved decisive, as he broke Lehecka early and maintained control throughout the match.
Sinner’s latest triumph marks his third consecutive ATP Masters 1000 title, following victories in Paris and Indian Wells.
This run reinforces his status as one of the most in-form players on the tour.
Meanwhile, the result strengthens Sinner’s push for the world number one spot.
Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, a key rival, exited early in Miami, allowing the Italian to close the gap in the rankings ahead of the clay court season.
On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka also completed the Indian Wells–Miami sweep after defeating Coco Gauff.
As a result, this marks the first time since Novak Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka in 2016 that both the men’s and women’s champions achieved the “Sunshine Double” in the same season.
Despite difficult weather conditions, Jannik Sinner showed composure, power, and consistency to secure another major title.
With momentum firmly on his side, he now heads into the clay season as a serious contender for the world number one ranking.
