Final without history in Miami, now Jannik has Djokovic ‘in his sights’
A final without history, just like the semi-final against Daniil Medvedev. Jannik Sinner increasingly seems to be the new master of world tennis, and in the meantime, at the expense of the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, ‘executioner’ in the previous rounds of Alcaraz and Zverev, he also takes victory in the Masters 1000 in Miami played on the hard court installed outside interior of the NFL Dolphins stadium. The match between the two ends 6-3 6-1, as if to say that, practically, there was no match and the playboy tennis player was able to do little from his one-handed backhand against an opponent who was once again in excellent shape and with a plan of precise play. So now Sinner, who from Monday will be world no. 2 (a feat never before achieved by an Italian tennis player) overtaking Carlitos Alcaraz in the ATP ranking, has a track record of 22 victories from the beginning of 2024 and only one defeat, and takes , master of the scene, his tournament since the beginning of the season: Australian Open, Rotterdam and now the conquest of Florida. Now in Sinner’s sights is the first position in the ranking occupied by Novak Djokovic, absent in Florida. The Serbian is just over 1000 points away, but will have to defend 2,315 of them on clay against Sinner’s 585
