   Points won by each set: | 30-26, 25-12 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   34 % Sinner – 15 of 43
   22 % Dimitrov – 11 of 50

   [3] Sinner is the best player in the world in the first quarter of the year 2024, no doubt about it. He has won the Australian Open, Rotterdam and Miami + the semifinal lost at Indian Wells (6-1, 3-6, 2-6 to his potentially toughest rival this decade – Alcaraz). The 32-year-old Dimitrov [12] has been arguably playing tennis of his life following the US Open ’23. In the meantime he has defeated several Top 10ers, in Miami he included Hurkacz, Alcaraz & Zverev to the list, but Sinner proved to be too tough to deal with. Sinner saved a break point at 1:2 and after breaking the Bulgarian in the following game, he totally dominated him. “I’m really proud obviously about the result,” Sinner said. “I started off struggling a little bit this week. I haven’t had so much time to adapt on this court, so I knew in the beginning that it’s going to be tough. As the tournament went on, I felt better and better. Today’s performance was really, really good. I’m just proud how I handled the situation.”

   Sinner’s route to 13th title:
   2 Andrea Vavassori 6-3, 6-4
   3 Tallon Griekspoor 5-7, 7-5, 6-1
   4 Christopher O’Connell 6-4, 6-3
   Q Tomas Machac 6-4, 6-2
   S Daniil Medvedev 6-1, 6-2
   W Grigor Dimitrov 6-3, 6-1

   # Sinner seven points away from defeat to Griekspoor

   Serve & volley: Sinner 0, Dimitrov 2/2

   Recently the Top 10 – for the first time in its history (the 1973 inception) – was deprived of a player who operates with one-handed backhand, after Tsitsipas dropped out. Dimitrov advances to No. 9 after Miami.
