Match Recap
Jannik Sinner completed the 2026 Sunshine Double on Sunday by defeating Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4 in the Miami Open final at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Italian became the first man since Roger Federer in 2017 to win both Indian Wells and Miami in the same season, achieving the feat without dropping a single set across the two tournaments.
Rain delayed the start by 90 minutes and interrupted play again early in the second set, but once underway, Sinner quickly imposed his game.
He broke Lehecka in the Czech’s second service game of the opening set and never looked back. Lehecka, who had not been broken once in his five previous matches and had saved all nine break points he faced entering the final, tried to counter with aggressive baseline hitting, frequent net approaches, and serve-and-volley tactics.
He even created a 0/40 opportunity on Sinner’s serve, but the World No. 2 responded with five straight first serves to escape. Sinner was virtually flawless on his delivery in the first set, winning all 16 first-serve points.
In the second set, Lehecka produced a strong 4-4 service game until he missed a routine forehand approach at 30/30, handing Sinner the decisive break.
Sinner closed out the match with two aces, extending his record streak to 34 consecutive sets won at the Masters 1000 level.
I thought Lehecka played a solid match and executed the right tactics to trouble Sinner; blasting from the baseline and coming forward, but could not sustain the pressure against Sinner’s pristine serving and superior forehand-to-forehand control.
Sinner created 11 break points overall and stayed composed through the heavy, humid conditions and rain interruptions.
With the victory, Sinner improved to 19-2 for the season and narrowed the gap to World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz to 1,190 points in the live rankings. Lehecka, in his maiden Masters 1000 final, will rise to a career-high No. 14 on Monday.
Sinner was by far the best player during this hard-court swing, and while his baseline game has shown signs of spraying more balls and he’s stood a bit further back compared to his 2024-2025 peak, his serve has reached new heights of precision and clutch performance. That weapon repeatedly bailed him out of trouble and proved the difference in the final.
It means a lot to me. [Winning] the Sunshine Double for the first time, it’s incredible. It’s something I never would’ve thought [to win] because it’s difficult to achieve. We made it somehow, so I’m very happy Sinner on his win.
On a personal level, Miami is definitely vying for the coveted title of worst Masters 1000 tournament, and when you pair it with someone like Sinner, who doesn’t really seem to garner much support or enthusiasm from armchair fans, then I didn’t find it a particularly interesting watch.
