## Sinner's path
Sinner, seeded second, reached the final without dropping a set, an extension of a run that already included the Paris and Indian Wells titles without a set lost; the Miami final gave him the chance to win three consecutive Masters 1000 titles without dropping a set.[7](https://www.puntodebreak.com/en/2026/03/28/analysis-of-the-miami-open-2026-final-sinner-vs-lehecka-step-away-from-historic-double) In the quarterfinals he beat [Frances Tiafoe](https://www.edgepedia.org/frances-tiafoe) 6-2, 6-2, and in the semifinals he defeated fourth-seeded [Alexander Zverev](https://www.edgepedia.org/alexander-zverev) 6-3, 7-6(4).[1](https://tennis-db.com/tournaments/238/miami-open) Earlier rounds included a 6-1, 6-4 win over Corentin Moutet in the third round and a 7-5, 7-6(4) defeat of Alex Michelsen in the round of 16.[1](https://tennis-db.com/tournaments/238/miami-open)
## Lehečka's run
Jiří Lehečka, the 21st seed, came through the other half of the draw with five wins before the final.[4](https://slamwatch.com/tournaments/miami/draw/) His quarterfinal was a 7-6(1), 7-5 win over Spaniard Martín Landaluce, ranked 151st, who had reached the last eight by upsetting 36th-ranked [Sebastian Korda](https://www.edgepedia.org/sebastian-korda) 2-6, 7-6(6), 6-4 in the round of 16; TennisDB gave Landaluce a 15 percent pre-match Elo win probability in that match.[1](https://tennis-db.com/tournaments/238/miami-open) In the semifinals Lehečka beat Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-2.[1](https://tennis-db.com/tournaments/238/miami-open) He arrived at the final unbroken for the fortnight, having saved all nine break points he faced across five matches, and the final was his first at Masters 1000 level.[5](https://www.atptour.com/en/news/miami-2026-final-rain-delay)
## The final
Rain disrupted the final on March 29. The start was delayed by 90 minutes, and after Sinner took the opening set 6-4, play was suspended for roughly 80 minutes following three points of the second set.[5](https://www.atptour.com/en/news/miami-2026-final-rain-delay) In the opening set Sinner did not drop a point behind his first serve, winning all 16, according to Infosys ATP Stats.[5](https://www.atptour.com/en/news/miami-2026-final-rain-delay) He completed the 6-4, 6-4 victory, his sixth win of the tournament, all in straight sets.[1](https://tennis-db.com/tournaments/238/miami-open) • [4](https://slamwatch.com/tournaments/miami/draw/)
## Notable results
Korda then lost to Landaluce in the round of 16, leaving that quarter of the draw to Zverev, who edged [Marin Čilić](https://www.edgepedia.org/marin-cilic) 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in the third round and Quentin Halys 7-6(4), 7-6(1) in the round of 16 before beating Francisco Cerúndolo 6-1, 6-2 in the quarterfinals.[1](https://tennis-db.com/tournaments/238/miami-open) The other quarterfinal was the tournament's longest among the recorded matches: Arthur Fils saved himself against [Tommy Paul](https://www.edgepedia.org/tommy-paul-tennis) 6-7(3), 7-6(4), 7-6(6), with all three sets going to a tiebreak.[1](https://tennis-db.com/tournaments/238/miami-open) Of the 15 matches with full scores recorded on the Slamwatch bracket, 10 finished in straight sets and 5 went to a third set.[4](https://slamwatch.com/tournaments/miami/draw/)
