Jannik Sinner dominated Grigor Dimitrov 6-3 6-1 on Sunday to win the Miami Open for the first time. The Italian fired a passing shot howling by his Bulgarian opponent for a crucial break in the first set and captured the opener with a brilliant backhand winner that brought the fans at Hard Rock Stadium to their feet.
The 32-year-old Dimitrov, who has experienced a career renaissance this season, had no answer for Sinner’s flawless game in the second set and was broken again when his backhand landed in the net to fall behind 3-1.
Dimitrov badly missed an overhead to hand Sinner the 5-1 lead and did not even try to chase down Sinner’s backhand winner on championship point.Sinner won 88% of his first serve points and thumped 15 winners to capture the title in South Florida after finishing as the runner-up in 2021 and 2023.
“I raised my level dramatically for semis and final, which I’ve shown on the court and obviously the result is amazing,” Sinner said.
“I felt like I was serving really well in the important moments which gives me a lot of confidence… Physically I feel good, I feel fresh even now.
