Jannik Sinner, the current Wimbledon winner and four time Grand Slam champion, is also hoping for his second Miami Open triumph in the last three years, having beaten Alexander Zverev in the Indian Wells semifinal two weeks earlier.

In three games against Sinner, Lehecka has not won and he has not yet won a set against the Italian. With a forehand winner that broke Zverev for a 3-1 lead in the first set, Sinner maintained a comfortable lead from there, winning the set in 42 minutes with a service winner.

The second set went to a tiebreak since neither player was able to break. The tiebreak turned when Zverev gave Sinner a 5-4 lead by hitting an overhead smash long.
