World Number two Jannik Sinner defeated Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4 to win the Miami Open, completing the Sunshine Double without dropping a set.
Alcaraz was undoubtedly the better player for the day.
Novak Djokovic’s bid for a record 25th Grand Slam title lay in ruins on Sunday after a demolition job by Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final.
“When you’re up 6-1 6-3 5-2 against a player like Carlos, you start thinking because we are all humans.’’
Djokovic finally met his match as he ran out of ideas to stop young gun Alcaraz from hurtling towards the title in the grasscourt major.
The Serbian earned a 7-6(1) 6-3 7-5 victory over fourth seed Casper Ruud in the final match of the 2023 competition.
The highly-anticipated contest between the world number one and the two-time Roland Garros champion ended after two high-octane sets.
Victory would have lifted them off the foot of the table and taken them to within a point of the safety zone and, more importantly, given the squad a massive boost of confidence.

Red-hot fourth seed Medvedev has now reached the final in five consecutive events after triumphs in Doha, Rotterdam, and Dubai before finishing runner-up at Indian Wells.
