Italian Jannick Sinner (22 years old) was declared the champion of the Miami Masters 1000 after a stratospheric final against Grigor Dimitrov (6-3, 6-1) and confirmed that the new generation of tennis players has arrived to take over to the Federers , Nadal and Djokovic, although the Serbian is still number 1. All three have offered unforgettable exhibitions throughout their careers, but now it’s time to enjoy the new batch with Sinner himself, Alcaraz or Rune.

With his relentless success in Miami, Sinner already has 19 titles on the circuit, including the recent Australian Open, and has established himself as one of the great tennis players today for performances like last night.

What a joy to have another generation of tennis players who aim high and promise a spectacle every time they take the court! Tennis needs it.

Xavi Hernández, Barça coach, filed a complaint against two journalists for spreading false information, something he had never seen before.
