Jannik Sinner vs Jiri Lehecka preview

Second seed Jannik Sinner will take on 21st seed Jiri Lehecka in the final of the 2026 Miami Open on Sunday, March 29.

Sinner is chasing the elusive ‘Sunshine Double’: winning both Indian Wells and the Miami Open in the same calendar year, a feat achieved by only a handful of players. He began his campaign with wins over Damir Dzumhur, Corentin Moutet, Alex Michelsen and Frances Tiafoe, before defeating third seed Alexander Zverev 6-3, 7-6(4) in the semifinal.

Meanwhile, Lehecka has been one of the surprise packages of the tournament despite a modest start to the season. His best results before Miami were quarterfinal appearances in Doha and Dubai. In Miami, he defeated Moise Kouame and Ethan Quinn before stunning sixth seed Taylor Fritz and then overcoming Martin Landaluce. He carried that momentum into the semifinal, where he beat Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-2 to book a spot in the final.

Jannik Sinner vs Jiri Lehecka prediction

Sinner has a way of making matches feel straightforward. He hits early, keeps the ball deep, and doesn’t give opponents much time to reset once rallies begin, while Lehecka is more about taking chances. When he’s striking well, he can match that pace and even rush Sinner by going after his shots early.

The match could come down to who settles quicker. If Sinner gets into his rhythm, he usually takes control without too much fuss. But if Lehecka starts confidently and keeps pulling the trigger, he can make it uncomfortable.

Sinner still feels like the more reliable option over a full match, but Lehecka has enough firepower to keep it interesting if he stays aggressive. But the Italian might be too much for the Czech to handle this time around.

Pick: Sinner to win in straight sets.
