Jannik Sinner is one win away from achieving the “Sunshine Double"

” after defeating Alexander Zverev 6-3, 7-6(4) in the Miami Open semifinals. The Italian world number two has now won 7 straight matches against Zverev and will face Jiri Lehecka in Sunday's championship match.

Sinner's impressive performance included 15 aces, and he's looking to become the first man since Roger Federer in 2017 to win both Indian Wells and Miami titles in the same year. Lehecka, on the other hand, dominated Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-2 in the other semifinal, and is seeking his first ATP Masters 1000 title.

Jannik Sinner is on the cusp of making history by becoming the first man since Roger Federer in 2017 to achieve the “Sunshine Double.” This impressive feat involves winning titles at Indian Wells and Miami in the same year. Sinner has already won Indian Wells and is now eyeing the Miami Open title, having beaten Alexander Zverev 6-3, 7-6(4) to reach the final against Jiri Lehecka.

“Standing here again in a final means very much to me,” Sinner said. “We'll try to push in a couple of days but in any case it has been an incredible swing.”

Jannik Sinner, the reigning Wimbledon champion and four-time Grand Slam winner, is looking to claim his second Miami Open title in three years. He recently defeated Alexander Zverev in the Indian Wells semi-finals and is now one win away from achieving the 'Sunshine Double', a feat last accomplished by Roger Federer in 2017. Sinner will face Jiri Lehecka in the Miami Open final, and given their head-to-head record, Sinner is the favorite to win.

“Coming here, trying to produce some good tennis, that was my main goal,” Sinner said. “Trying to play as many matches as possible. I couldn't do better. I'm very happy.”

Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one from Belarus, is going for the “Sunshine Double” as she defends her Miami Open title against Coco Gauff in today's WTA final. Sabalenka has been on fire, winning all her matches in straight sets, while Gauff has battled her way to the final with four three-set wins. Their head-to-head record is tied at 6-6, with Sabalenka winning their last meeting at the 2025 WTA Finals.

Jiri Lehecka's Dominant Win

Jiri Lehecka, the 24-year-old Czech player, stormed into the Miami Open final with a commanding 6-2, 6-2 win over Arthur Fils at Hard Rock Stadium on Friday. Lehecka broke Fils in the opening game and never looked back, sealing the match with an ace.

Lehecka's Unstoppable Performance

The 21st seed from the Czech Republic broke Fils four times, committing no double faults, and didn’t face a single break point. His aggressive baseline play and flawless serving kept Fils on the defensive throughout the semifinal. Fils, the 21-year-old Frenchman, had saved four match points in his quarterfinal win over Tommy Paul, but Lehecka's relentless pressure proved too much.

“He's an incredible player,” said Sinner. “He's going to be for sure more free than me, but I try to control whatever I can control, and the rest we'll see how it goes.”

Jiri Lehecka dominated Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-2 in the Miami Open semifinals, breaking Fils for the first time in the tournament in the opening game when Fils netted a forehand. Lehecka continued to pressure Fils, breaking him early in the second set and again on a backhand cross-court service return winner for a 5-2 lead, then holding serve for the win.

Lehecka is now seeking his third ATP title after winning in Adelaide in 2024 and Brisbane in 2025. This is his eighth career final, but his first at the elite Masters 1000 level. Lehecka's impressive run in Miami has propelled him to a new career-high ranking of No. 14, and a win in the final would push him to No. 12.

Arthur Fils struggled with a back injury that he picked up at last year's French Open, and it wasn't until last month that he made his comeback, reaching the Doha final and beating Jiri Lehecka in the quarterfinals. This Miami Open semifinal was a big deal for Fils, his first at the Masters 1000 level, while Lehecka was making his second appearance at this stage, having retired in Madrid 2024 due to a similar back issue that kept him out for over three months.

Lehecka's history against top players isn't great, going 0-3 against Jannik Sinner without taking a set, but he's 1-1 against Alexander Zverev. Given Lehecka's impressive run here, beating Taylor Fritz and Arthur Fils, he's looking confident going into the final against Sinner.

Jannik Sinner is on a roll, aiming to extend his streak of consecutive sets won at the Masters 1000 level to 32. He's facing Jiri Lehecka in the Miami Open final, seeking to become the first man since Roger Federer in 2017 to complete the “Sunshine Double” by winning titles at Indian Wells and Miami in the same year.

Sinner's momentum is fueled by his impressive performance against top players, including a 6-3, 7-6(4) win over Alexander Zverev in the semifinals. He leads their career rivalry 7-4 and has won six straight matches against Zverev, with their last meeting being a victory in the Indian Wells semifinals two weeks ago.
