Jannik Sinner<\/a> made the transition from Indian Wells to the Miami Open presented by Itau<\/a> look easy on Saturday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium. <\/p>\n Beginning his Miami title bid six days after he lifted his maiden trophy for 2026 at the BNP Paribas Open<\/a>, Sinner raced past Damir Dzumhur<\/a> 6-3, 6-3 inside Hard Rock Stadium. The No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, who is bidding to become the first man to complete the coveted \u2018Sunshine Double\u2019 since Roger Federer<\/a> in 2017, dropped just eight points behind his delivery in the match, according to Infosys ATP Stats. <\/p>\n Signed, sealed , delivered \ud83d\udce9@janniksin<\/a> begins his quest for the Sunshine Double in dazzling fashion.@MiamiOpen<\/a> | #MiamiOpen<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/UQvxjDDcmB<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ATP Tour (@atptour) March 21, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Now on a 12-match winning streak at ATP Masters 1000 events following his title runs at the Rolex Paris Masters<\/a> in November and in Indian Wells, Sinner has tied Novak Djokovic<\/a>\u2019s record for the most consecutive sets won at that level (24). He will have the chance to move clear of his great rival by winning the opening set of his third-round encounter against 30th seed Corentin Moutet<\/a>, who defeated Tomas Machac<\/a> 6-0, 1-6, 6-4. <\/p>\n \u201cI feel like the scoreboard matters at times,\u201d said Sinner when asked about his streak of Masters 1000 straight-sets wins. \u201cFor me, I try to improve as a player and put myself in the position to play as many matches as possible. I always treat every opponent in the same way, trying to come on court and do my best with a great attitude and trying to go for it.\u201d <\/p>\n Sinner is this year chasing his second title in Miami, where he triumphed in 2024. The Italian has no PIF ATP Rankings points to defend in South Florida, giving him the opportunity to build further momentum in his battle with Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> for World No. 1. <\/p>\n
