Tennis player Daniil Medvedev won the Masters tournament in Miami. The 27-year-old Russian beat the Italian Jannik Sinner 7: 5, 6: 3 in the final. Medvedev won his sixth duel with the South Tyrolean.

The former world number one had reached the final by beating his compatriot Karen Khachanov, whom he defeated 7:6 (7:5), 3:6, 6:3.

Sinner had surprisingly beat world number one Carlos Alcaraz 6: 7 (4: 7), 6: 4, 6: 2 in the semifinals. With Alcaraz unable to defend his title in Miami, the Spaniard now loses the lead in the world rankings again to Serbian Novak Djokovic.
