Miami (ATP 1000)

Final Summary:
Sinner def. Dimitrov 6-3 6-1 in the final, with the match lasting 1 hour and 13 minutes.

Following the result, Sinner surpasses Carlos Alcaraz to reach a new career-high ranking of #2.
Dimitrov's run to the final amidst a nightmarish draw was remarkable. He recorded three consecutive upset victories starting in the Round of 16 over Hubert Hurkacz [8], Carlos Alcaraz [1], and Alexander Zverev [4].
