Jannik Sinner is one victory away from tennis history, advancing to the Miami Open final after a straight-sets win over Alexander Zverev that puts him on the brink of completing the 'Sunshine Double'. The world No. 2 Italian defeated the world No. 4 German 6-3 7-6 (7-4) to reach Sunday's showpiece. This triumph follows his record 32-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level and his previous title in Miami in 2024, though he missed defending it last year due to a doping ban.

Sinner now faces Jiri Lehecka, who reached his first Masters 1000 final by crushing Arthur Fils 6-2 6-2. Lehecka, currently ranked 21st, has never dropped a set in Miami and can draw confidence from his dominant performance and the fact he holds a 3-0 record against Sinner. The final sets up a clash between the overwhelming favorite Sinner and the inspired Lehecka, who would climb to a career-high No. 12 if he wins.

Sinner's potential achievement would make him only the eighth man to win both Indian Wells and Miami in the same season, joining legends like Federer, Djokovic, and Agassi.
