Jannik Sinner clinched the Miami Open title with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Jiri Lehecka, completing the Sunshine Double without dropping a single set. The Italian world No 2 is the eighth man to win both Indian Wells and Miami in the same year, and the first to do so without losing a set in those three triumphs.
Lehecka entered his first Masters 1000 final on a remarkable run, having not lost a service game throughout the tournament. However, Sinner broke the Czech's unbreakable serve in the third game and maintained his lead through a match repeatedly interrupted by rain.
Sinner's dominant form extends his streak of consecutive sets won at Masters level to 34, dating back to last November. He is only the third man, after Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, to win three consecutive Masters events.
Lehecka, the 21st seed, produced the best tennis of his career in Miami, defeating Taylor Fritz and Arthur Fils en route to the final. But against Sinner, he found an opponent of a different calibre. Despite a better showing than their previous meeting at the French Open, where Sinner won 6-0, 6-1, 6-2, Lehecka could not capitalise on his chances.
The result tightens the race for world No 1, with Sinner now around 1,500 points behind Carlos Alcaraz. Both players have shared the first three Masters titles of the season, yet have not faced each other in 2025.
