Tennis LIVE: Jannik Sinner beats Jiri Lehecka to win Miami Open final | Tennis | Sport


The Miami Open officially reached its conclusion on Sunday, with Jannik Sinner triumphing in the men’s final to claim the Sunshine Double. Rain delays heavily impacted his clash with Jiri Lehecka but the No .2 seed was able to come out on top

The day kicked off with a thrilling women’s doubles final between the top two seeds, as Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini took on Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend. Around an hour into the match, play was suspended by rain, just as they were getting towards the end of the first set.

Finally, at around 4.20pm local (9.20pm BST), Sinner and Lehecka stepped out onto the Stadium, while Errani/Paolini and Siniakova/Townsend returned, this time on Grandstand. Czech-American duo Siniakova and Townsend claimed a 7-6(0) 6-1 victory to complete the Sunshine Double.

The men’s doubles final was also interrupted by another spell of rain at the beginning of the second set. By that point, Sinner had taken the opener 6-4. That was the second set outcome as well with Sinner later delivering a message to F1 star and fellow Italian Kimi Antonelli in his post-match speech.

His match finished at around 1am BST and he subsequently joined Aryna Sabalenka in winning both Indian Wells and the Miami Open.
