Daniil Medvedev beats Jannik Sinner to win Miami Open title

 

Daniil Medvedev continued his domination on hard courts as he defeated Jannik Sinner 7-5, 6-3 to win the Miami Open title on Sunday. This was the 19th tour title for the Russian, his fifth ATP Masters 1000 title, and his fourth title in 2023.

Medvedev had lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the Indian Wells but continued his good show in Miami. The 27-year-old broke Sinner’s serve in the 12th game of the opening set. Medvedev then broke the Italian’s serve in the second game of the second set to put himself in front.

“I’m really happy. Today was a tough match. It was probably the hottest day and the most humid during the day,” Medvedev said after winning his fifth ATP Masters 1000 title and 19th career tour-level crown. “It was not easy conditions. I don’t know if Jannik had a small injury or cramp. I was also struggling, tried not to show it.

“I haven’t won’t such a big title in probably a year and a half,” he added, not having tasted Masters 1000 glory since he won Toronto in 2021. “At the end I was quite shaky. Not even tight, because I’m not scared to win. But still the hands get a little shaky so the serve is a little bit tougher… I managed to get myself together and close the match.”

On the other hand, Jannik Sinner poked fun at Daniil Medvedev for the upcoming clay court season, which is not Russian’s forte.

“First of all, Congrats Daniil, not only for this tournament but also the last five, minimum final, and playing incredible tennis. Congrats to you and obviously your team for an incredible job. Now clay season starts, let’s see how you do there, but I wish you all the best,” Sinner said.

“It’s a pity it is clay season next up, but I am going to try. I am really happy with my results so far but it is not over,” the Russian said.
