Russian fourth seed Daniil Medvedev won his first Miami Open title by beating Jannik Sinner in 7-5 6-3 straight sets on a humid day at Hard Rock Stadium.
It is the fifth Masters 1,000 crown of the in-form 27-year-old’s career and his fourth ATP title of 2023 following wins in Dubai, Doha and Rotterdam.
Medvedev, who lost in the Indian Wells final last month, continued his impressive form to win in just over 90 minutes as Sinner tired in the second set after putting up a fight early on.
Italian world number 11 Sinner claimed a shock win over top seed Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals but could not recreate that display on Sunday.
World number five Medvedev became the first player since Ivan Lendl in 1981 to reach a fifth consecutive ATP final when he beat fellow Russian Karen Khachanov in the last four.
He is yet to lose to 21-year-old Sinner in six meetings and also got the better of the Italian in the Rotterdam final in February.
