At the 2026 Miami Open, Sinner was seeded second and began his campaign in the second round after receiving a first-round bye. He won his opening match against Damir Džumhur (6-3, 6-3) and then eliminated Corentin Moutet (6-1, 6-4) and Alex Michelsen (7-5, 7-6(4)) in the third and fourth rounds, respectively.
In the quarterfinals, the Italian triumphed over Frances Tiafoe (6-2, 6-2) and secured his spot in the final by defeating Alexander Zverev (6-3, 7-6(4)) in the semifinals. In the championship match, Sinner defeated Jiří Lehečka (6-4, 6-4) to win the 2026 Miami Open, claiming his seventh Masters 1000 title and also completing the Sunshine Double.
Remarkably, Sinner did not drop a single set throughout the tournament, making him the first man to achieve the Sunshine Double without losing a set.
Following his title win at the Sunshine State, Sinner took to social media and shared a series of photos of himself with his team posing with the trophy. He also posted a video of his team dousing him with champagne in the locker room after the win.
“This means a lot to me 🫶🏻 🏆 Grazie!! ❤️ ❤️ @miamiopen,” Sinner captioned his Instagram post.
