Sinner's victory at the Miami Open now means that he has won three titles this season, with his first coming at the Australian Open and the second at the Rotterdam Open. The Italian has won 22 matches this season and lost only one. He will now move to No. 2 in the ATP rankings.

Dimitrov, on the other hand, has also been having a great season, as this was his third final of the season. He first won the Brisbane International in January, then lost in the final of the Open 13.

John Lloyd, a former World No.21 and ex-husband of Chris Evert, shared his thoughts on Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz's exceptional performance.

Speaking on a recent episode of Tennis Channel's Inside-In podcast, Lloyd stated that when Sinner and Alcaraz are playing at their peak, their performance surpasses that of anyone else. He also urged other players to elevate their game in response.

"These two guys, I tell you, the other guys are going to have to really step up. Because they're gonna run away with it, We always say that, ‘He's on the big come-up,' but I tell you, when those two are playing at their best, no one can get close, I don't think,” Lloyd said (11:11)
