Sinner tops Dimitrov to win Miami Open title

MIAMI GARDENS, Florida, Apr 01 (AP): Jannik Sinner's strong 2024 continued as he won the Miami Open with 6-3, 6-1 victory over 11th seed Grigor Dimitrov on Sunday.
In a flawless display on a 79-degree afternoon, Sinner, the 2024 Australian Open champion, moved to 22-1 on the year in winning the Miami Open for the first time. Sinner had been runner-up twice in 2021 and 2023.
In his second straight Miami Open finals appearance (Sinner lost last year to Daniil Medvedev), the 22-year-old played with an abundance of confidence despite the crowd cheering on the underdog from Bulgaria. Sinner ended it in 1 hour, 13 minutes with a backhand winner.
Sinner dropped just seven games combined in the semifinals and finals.
"This was my third time in the final and I figured this would be the lucky one,? Sinner said. "I'm really happy I can hold the big trophy?
