Jannik Sinner will aim to add his name to an exclusive list in ATP Tour history on Sunday at the Miami Open presented by Itau.
If the No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Rankings can defeat Jiri Lehecka in the championship match at Hard Rock Stadium, he will become just the eighth man to complete the ‘Sunshine Double’. Find out more about this coveted feat below.
The ‘Sunshine Double’ refers to winning both the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells and the Miami Open presented by Itau in the same year.
Seven different men have completed the Sunshine Double at least once: Jim Courier (1991), Michael Chang (1992), Pete Sampras (1994), Marcelo Rios (1998), Andre Agassi (2001), Roger Federer (2005-06) and Novak Djokovic (2011, 2014-16).
Sinner is bidding to become the first man to complete the Sunshine Double since Roger Federer in 2017.
The record for completing the Sunshine Double the most times is held by Novak Djokovic. The Serbian has achieved the feat four times: In 2011, and then in three consecutive years from 2014-16. The only other man to complete it more than once is Federer, who triumphed in Indian Wells and Miami in 2005-06 and 2017.
Sinner is bidding to join Sabalenka as a Sunshine Double winner in 2026 after the WTA World No. 1 overcame Coco Gauff on Saturday in Miami. If Sinner defeats Lehecka to lift the trophy, it will mark the fourth time that an ATP player and a WTA player have completed the Sunshine Double in the same year.
The first time it happened was in 1994, when Sampras and Steffi Graf each triumphed in Indian Wells and Miami. In 2005, Federer and Kim Clijsters each won both events, while in 2016 Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka both secured Sunshine Double glory.
