Aryna Sabalenka registered an emphatic 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 victory over World No. 4 Coco Gauff to lift the Miami Open trophy, becoming the first player to complete the Sunshine Double since Iga Swiatek in 2022.

This is Sabalenka's second straight Miami Open title, the first time that has been done since Aussie Ash Barty did it in 2019 and ’21 (no tournament held in 2020 due to the pandemic). Moreover, she is the first to do so in consecutive years since Serena Williams from 2013 to 2015.
