MIAMI — World No. 2 Jannik Sinner powered past Jiri Lehecka, 6-4, 6-4, to win the ATP Miami Masters 1000 for a second time on Sunday (Monday in Manila), adding the title to his Indian Wells crown.

Sinner had to wait out rain delays before and during the match to complete his “Sunshine Double,” becoming the first man to sweep the elite hard court tournaments in California and Florida since Roger Federer in 2017 and the first to do so without dropping a set.
