Jannik Sinner continued his dominant run on hard courts after defeating Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4 in the Miami Open final to lift the title for a second time and complete the Sunshine Double.
The world number two added the Miami crown to his Indian Wells triumph, becoming the first man since Roger Federer in 2017 to win both tournaments in the same season. He also became the first player to achieve the feat without dropping a set.
"That is MAGNIFICENT" 🙌

Sinner, who had already won in Miami in 2024, had to deal with lengthy rain interruptions before and during Sunday’s final, but remained composed throughout to secure yet another major title.
“It’s a very, very special moment,” Sinner said after the match. “Coming here, performing again in a very good way after Indian Wells means a lot to me. It’s something I never would’ve thought because it’s difficult to achieve.”
The Italian is now on a run of three consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles, having also won in Paris last year.
Lehecka, playing in the first Masters 1000 final of his career, struggled to break down Sinner’s consistency and precision. The Czech also conceded his first service break of the tournament in the opening set as Sinner moved into control.
Although Lehecka battled well and saved multiple set points across the match, Sinner stayed in command during the decisive moments and closed out the contest at the net to seal the title in straight sets.
The victory also marked a rare double on both tours, with Aryna Sabalenka having won the women’s title after also triumphing at Indian Wells. It is the first time since 2016 that both the men’s and women’s Sunshine Double was completed in the same year.
Despite the defeat, Lehecka leaves Miami with plenty of positives after a breakthrough run that will see him climb to a career high of world number 14.
“I came here with not good form and I was able to come back to the tennis that I want to play,” Lehecka said during the trophy ceremony.
