Sinner reaches Miami final with win over Zverev

Sinner continues dominance over Zverev

World number two Jannik Sinner extended his dominance over Alexander Zverev with a straight-sets victory to reach the Miami Open final for the fourth time.

The Italian secured a 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) win, marking his seventh consecutive victory over Zverev and continuing a remarkable run of form in 2026.

Sinner chasing the ‘Sunshine Double’

Sinner is now on the brink of a rare achievement:

• Won Indian Wells earlier this month
• Targeting the Miami Open title
• Could become the first player since Roger Federer (2017) to complete the ‘Sunshine Double’

His current form is extraordinary:

• 16 consecutive wins at Masters 1000 level
• 32 sets won in a row
• Unbeaten in his last seven matches vs Zverev

“It has been an incredible swing,” said Sinner.

“I couldn’t do any better.”

Tough semi-final battle

Despite the straight-sets scoreline, the match was competitive:

• Zverev pushed Sinner hard in the second set
• Tie-break decided the outcome
• Sinner’s serve and composure proved decisive in key moments

“He played some incredible tennis… but I served very well in the crucial moments,” Sinner added.

Lehecka awaits in first Masters final

Sinner will face Jiri Lehecka in Sunday’s final.

Lehecka reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final after a dominant 6-2, 6-2 win over Arthur Fils.

“I’m very excited… but there are more important things going on in the world,” said the Czech.

Final preview

• Sinner: Heavy favourite, in peak form
• Lehecka: Underdog, playing freely with nothing to lose

The key question:

Can Lehecka stop one of the hottest streaks in modern tennis?

Final thoughts

Jannik Sinner is not just winning — he’s dominating.

If he lifts the trophy at the Miami Open, it will confirm his status as the standout player of 2026 so far and place him alongside the sport’s elite in achieving the Sunshine Double.
