    What's the story

    Hubert Hurkacz overcame Jannik Sinner in the Miami Open final to win his first ATP Masters 1000 title.

    The 24-year-old won 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 in one hour 43 minutes to become the first Polish singles player to win a top-level event at the ATP tour.

    A handful of double-faults in the finale proved costly for the 19-year-old Sinner.

    Here we present the details.

    Hurkacz tried to stay as solid as he could

    Hurkacz said he had to stay solid against Sinner during the match.

    "Obviously, I was trying to stay as solid as I can because he can hit the balls so hard ... if you let him do that, like, he's just gonna run around," he said.

    "So I was just trying to keep his pace and be able to fight for each ball."

    Finale

    How did the match pan out?

    Hurkacz won the first three games, before Sinner hit back to level.

    The teenager went a break up at 6-5 but Hurkacz broke back and took the first set on a tie-break.

    The Polish international claimed the next four games and although Sinner fought back to win the next three, he held his nerve to secure a straight-sets win.
