Sinner and Sabalenka sweep Miami 1000s

Jannik Sinner claimed the 2026 Miami (ATP) title with a commanding 6-4 6-4 victory over Jiri Lehecka, extending his grip on hard-court mastery as the men's tour heads into spring. On the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka triumphed at the 2026 Miami (WTA) with a 6-2 4-6 6-3 defeat of Coco Gauff to claim her own 1000-level prize. Both champions moved through draws turbulent with upsets: the Miami hard courts yielded several shocking results, as Terence Atmane ousted fifth-ranked Felix Auger-Aliassime in the second round, while A. Shevchenko dismantled sixth-ranked Ben Shelton in the Round of 64. Stefanos Tsitsipas, ranked outside the top 80, toppled ninth-ranked Alex De Minaur, and Matteo Berrettini upset tenth-ranked Alexander Bublik. Further chaos saw Raphael Collignon dispatch twelfth-ranked Flavio Cobolli and Martin Landaluce overcome fifteenth-ranked Karen Khachanov. The volatility underscored a draw wide-open for surprises, yet Sinner and Sabalenka navigated the chaos to clinch their crowns. The tour moves next to the 2026 Charleston (WTA), which begins March 30.
