Jannik Sinner completed the rare Sunshine Double by winning the Miami Open 6-4, 6-4 over Jiří Lehečka, becoming the eighth man to achieve the feat since Roger Federer's 2017 success. The world No. 2 plans to arrive in Monaco on Tuesday and resume practice on Thursday, though he admitted his body will hurt after the hard-court swing. Sinner sits just 1,190 points behind Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP rankings ahead of the clay-court season.
Sinner captured his first Indian Wells title with a 7-6, 7-6 victory over Daniil Medvedev before dominating Miami without dropping a set. This extended his streak to 34 consecutive sets won at ATP Masters 1000 events, spanning Paris, Indian Wells, and Miami. He remarked on the physical toll: “I’m gonna jump on the plane tomorrow, and I’m gonna be in Monaco around lunch time on Tuesday. We’re aiming to go back on court on Thursday, slowly, but the body is gonna hurt a bit. Then we’ll see how I’m gonna feel.” Sinner added that protecting his body remains a priority ahead of the new surface switch to clay, which begins April 5 at the Monte Carlo Masters. He skipped the event last year due to a suspension and has yet to win it. Carlos Alcaraz holds the No. 1 ranking with 13,590 points to Sinner's 12,400, a gap narrowed from 3,150 after the Sunshine Double. Alcaraz, who won Monte Carlo in 2025, faces a 1,000-point deduction at the tournament's start, shrinking the lead to 190 points. Sinner has no points to defend there, positioning him strongly to challenge for the top spot.
