Sinner leads Lehečka 3-0 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head, with those three straight wins coming at Indian Wells and Beijing in 2024 and at Roland Garros in 2025. (atptour.com) Sinner arrives in Miami fresh off an Indian Wells title won 7-6, 7-6 over Daniil Medvedev on March 15, 2026, a win that completed his set of six hard‑court Masters 1000 crowns. (atptour.com) The Italian has not lost in his last 11 matches entering the Miami final, a run that includes the Indian Wells fortnight. (profootballnetwork.com) Lehečka reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final with a 6-2, 6-2 semi over Arthur Fils, a 75‑minute victory in which he did not face a single break point. (atptour.com) His Miami run also includes a fourth‑round three‑set win over Taylor Fritz and a quarterfinal victory over Martín Landaluce. (profootballnetwork.com) The Czech is on course for a career‑high jump in the ATP rankings after Miami and is projected to rise roughly eight places in the live rankings from his pre‑event slot, having entered the tournament seeded 21st. (tennis365.com) The men’s final is scheduled to start not before 3 p.m. EDT on Stadium Court at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. (atptour.com) Match‑level numbers underline contrasting strengths: Sinner produced 15 aces in his semi, saved every break point he faced and won about 79% of his first‑serve points in the Zverev match. (sofascore.com) Lehečka won roughly 82% of his service points against Fils, broke serve four times in that semi and entered the final effectively unbroken through the tournament. (profootballnetwork.com) A Miami win hands Sinner the Sunshine Double — Indian Wells followed by Miami — a feat no man has achieved since Roger Federer in 2017, while a Lehečka victory would deliver his maiden ATP Masters 1000 title in his eighth tour‑level final.
