Former world number one Daniil Medvedev won the Miami Open title for the first time by beating Jannik Sinner in straight sets.<\/span><\/p>\n The in-form Russian fourth seed broke serve twice in the opening set before powering to a 7-5 6-3 victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n It is the fifth Masters 1,000 crown of his career and his fourth ATP title of 2023 following wins in Dubai, Doha and Rotterdam.<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m really happy. It was a tough match,” said 27-year-old Medvedev. <\/span><\/p>\n “It was probably the hottest and most humid day. It was not easy conditions. I don’t know if Jannik had a small injury or cramp. I was also struggling but tried not to show it.<\/span><\/p>\n “I haven’t won’t such a big title in probably a year and a half. At the end I was quite shaky so the serve is a little bit tougher. I managed to get myself together and close out the match.”<\/span><\/p>\n Medvedev, a runner-up at Indian Wells 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.<\/span><\/p>\n Italy’s Sinner, the world number 11, claimed a shock win over top seed Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals but could not recreate that display on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/span><\/p>\n
