Sinner Defeats Lehecka to Win Miami Open and Complete Sunshine Double

He became the first man to win both March Masters without losing a set.

Overview

  • Sinner, who finished the job Sunday after long rain delays, beat Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4 at Hard Rock Stadium.
  • The win sealed the Sunshine Double, which means sweeping Indian Wells and Miami in the same season, a feat no man had managed since 2017.
  • He did not drop a set at either tournament and carried a Masters-level streak of consecutive sets won reported at 32 entering the final.
  • Lehecka reached his first Masters 1000 final this week and will rise to a career-high No. 14 in the ATP rankings.
  • Aryna Sabalenka completed the same two-event sweep on Saturday, making this the first year since 2016 that both tours produced Sunshine Doubles.
