Jannik Sinner beats Zverev again to reach fourth Miami Open Final
World No. 2 Jannik Sinner continued his remarkable form with a 6–3, 7–6 (7–4) victory over Alexander Zverev to reach the final of the Miami Open. The Italian has now won seven consecutive matches against the German, further cementing his dominance in one of the ATP Tour’s most notable rivalries.
Clinical Performance in Key Moments
Sinner controlled much of the first set, breaking early and maintaining composure to take it 6–3. The second set proved more competitive, with Zverev raising his level and pushing the match into a tie-break.
However, Sinner’s composure under pressure made the difference, as he delivered in crucial moments to seal the tie-break 7–4 and close out the match in straight sets.
Red-Hot Form Continues
The victory extends an extraordinary run for Sinner:
- 16 consecutive wins in ATP Masters 1000 events
- 32 straight sets won
- Back-to-back wins over Zverev, including at the Indian Wells Open
Reflecting on his form, Sinner described the current stretch as one of the best periods of his career, highlighting his consistency and ability to deliver in big matches.
Chasing the Sunshine Double
Sinner now stands one win away from completing the coveted Sunshine Double, having already claimed the Indian Wells title earlier this month. If successful, he would become the first man since Roger Federer in 2017 to achieve the feat.
The Italian is also targeting his second Miami Open title in three years, underlining his strong affinity with the tournament.
Final Showdown: Jiri Lehecka awaits

For Lehecka, this marks his first ATP Masters 1000 final and a breakthrough moment on one of tennis’ biggest stages. Despite the milestone, Lehecka remained grounded, expressing excitement while keeping perspective beyond the sport.
A Final with Contrasting Stakes
The Miami Open final sets up an intriguing clash, Sinner chasing history and another major title, and Lehecka aiming for a career-defining breakthrough. With Sinner in dominant form and Lehecka playing freely, the stage is set for a compelling showdown in Miami.
