Sinner and Sabalenka Achieve Historic Sunshine Double at Miami and Indian Wells
Jannik Sinner has bounced back from his early-season disappointments in Melbourne and Dubai to secure two consecutive Masters 1000 titles, accomplishing what is famously known as the 'Sunshine Double'. This remarkable feat saw him clinch both Indian Wells and the Miami Open in the same season. Sinner defeated Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4 to claim his second Miami title in 2024, just weeks after celebrating his inaugural victory in California.
The Italian world No. 2 is the first male player since Roger Federer in 2017 to achieve this significant milestone. Even more impressively, he is the first to complete the double without dropping a single set, extending his incredible record of 34 consecutive sets won at the Masters 1000 level, a streak that began in Paris last year.
A day prior, Aryna Sabalenka also accomplished the same extraordinary feat. She bested Coco Gauff 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 in Miami, following her triumph at Indian Wells in a fiercely contested match against the new world No. 2, Elena Rybakina. This marks the first WTA 'Sunshine Double' since Iga Swiatek achieved it in 2022.
