Jannik Sinner has made history by becoming only the eighth man to complete the 'Sunshine Double'. The Italian proved too strong for Jiri Lehecka in the Miami Open final, defeating the 21st seed with a score of 6-4, 6-4. Sinner, who had already made history by reaching the Miami Open final, has now won 12 consecutive matches on the ATP Tour.
Sinner expressed his happiness about the win: "I feel like you know, finals are always very different to play and I try to stay, you know, solid in very different conditions today," Sinner told Sky Sports after the match. "Because it was very heavy, the court so it stopped to go through to the players. So I tried to stay solid in important moments and I'm very happy to take this home with me".
The tennis player also added: "It's been an incredible US swing here for me and I'm extremely happy. We did a lot of work to be in this position so I'm really really happy and I'm also happy to go to go back home". Sinner, despite not being obsessed with records, also became the first player in tennis history to win the 'Sunshine Double' without dropping a set.
