Jannik Sinner is the king of South Florida today, as Mark Petchey said on Tennis Channel after the Miami Open final, and tomorrow he will rule the world. It certainly seems as though Sinner will soon become the world’s No. 1 player and his destructive run to the singles title at the Miami Open moved the Italian to the No. 2 ranking for the first time.

His display in Miami served further notice that Sinner will be one of the main protagonists in this generation of men’s tennis. After a 6-1, 6-2 ruthless run through Daniil Medvedev in the Miami Open semifinals, Sinner was almost as merciless against Grigor Dimitrov in the final, posting a 6-3, 6-1 victory, his 22^nd win in 23 matches so far this year that included his first major singles title at the Australian Open.
