Sinner Wins Miami to Complete Sunshine Double

A run last matched by Roger Federer in 2017 signals the world No. 2’s command of the North American hard-court swing.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner beat Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4 in the Miami Masters final after a rain delay that paused play for about 90 minutes.
  • Lehecka, ranked No. 22, reached his first Masters 1000 final and finished runner-up in Miami.
  • The match lasted 1 hour 33 minutes, with Sinner earning one service break in each set to control the score.
  • The title is Sinner’s 26th on the ATP Tour and his second this year, coming days after his Indian Wells win.
  • Winning Indian Wells and Miami in succession is a rare sweep of the two top U.S. hard-court Masters events last achieved by Federer in 2017.
