Sinner Completes Sunshine Double With Rain-Hit Miami Title

The win tightens his chase of Carlos Alcaraz ahead of the Monte‑Carlo clay swing.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner defeated Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday after rain delays pushed the start back and halted play after the first set.
  • The victory sealed the Sunshine Double, which means winning Indian Wells and Miami in the same year, and he did it without dropping a set.
  • The result cut the ranking gap to about 1,190 points, with Alcaraz at 13,590 and Sinner at 12,400 going into Monte‑Carlo.
  • Lehecka played his first Masters 1000 final in Miami and will rise to a career‑best No. 14 in the ATP rankings.
  • Heavy rain caused long stoppages because Miami’s main court has no roof, and Sinner’s strong serving and timely net attacks helped him control the key moments.
