Match Result

How the match unfolded

Sinner controlled the match from the outset, breaking Lehecka’s serve in the fifth game of the first set and consolidating comfortably to take the opener 6-4. The Italian’s return game was sharp throughout, neutralising the big serving that had carried Lehecka through the draw unbroken across five matches.

The second set followed a similar pattern. Sinner earned an early break and managed the scoreline efficiently, never allowing Lehecka to build momentum or threaten a comeback. The 6-4, 6-4 scoreline reflected Sinner’s total control, extending his perfect head-to-head record against the Czech to 5-0 without dropping a set in any of their meetings.

Sinner makes history with Sunshine Double

By adding the Miami title to his Indian Wells triumph two weeks earlier, Sinner became the eighth man to complete the Sunshine Double. He joins an exclusive list that includes Roger Federer (2005, 2006, 2017), Novak Djokovic (2011, 2015), Andy Roddick (2004), Pete Sampras (2000), Michael Chang (1990) and Jim Courier (1991).

What sets Sinner’s achievement apart is the manner of it. He did not drop a single set across both tournaments, winning 12 consecutive matches in straight sets. No man had previously completed the Sunshine Double without losing a set, placing this among the most dominant hard court stretches in ATP history.

The title is Sinner’s seventh Masters 1000 crown and his second consecutive Miami title. Combined with his Indian Wells-Miami sweep, it represents the strongest spring hard court campaign by any player since Djokovic’s peak years.

Lehecka’s breakthrough run

Despite the final result, Lehecka’s tournament was a significant breakthrough. The 22-year-old Czech reached his first Masters 1000 final and achieved a remarkable statistical feat: he was not broken once across his first five matches, holding serve 56 consecutive times. He was the first player to reach an ATP 1000 final without being broken since Djokovic at the 2018 Shanghai Masters.

Lehecka will rise inside the top 15 in the ATP rankings following his Miami run, confirming his status as one of the most dangerous young players on the tour. His results in Miami mark him as a player capable of competing at the highest level of the game.

Updated Sinner vs Lehecka head-to-head

The Miami final extends Sinner’s perfect record against Lehecka to 5-0, with the Italian winning all 11 sets they have played. See our Sinner vs Lehecka H2H page for the full match-by-match record.

What comes next

Sinner now turns his attention to the clay court season with zero points to defend at Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome after missing those events during his 2025 suspension. This gives him a significant ranking opportunity, and he enters the clay swing in the form of his career. The Monte Carlo Masters begins on 5 April.
