This triumph marks the realization of the Sunshine Double for the Belarusian, etching her name in golden letters in tennis history.

There was a sense in the air of a major event unfolding, of something truly significant brewing, and that the final of this 2026 Miami Open would be unforgettable for fans of women's tennis. This is how Aryna Sabalenka and Cori Gauff took to the court to showcase the 13th installment of an intimate rivalry that always guarantees an exciting spectacle and could stand as the cornerstone of women's tennis for years to come. The American crowd rallied behind their player, eager to be part of a match full of nuances.

Recap of the 2026 Miami Open final won by Sabalenka against Gauff

The events of the first set clearly demonstrate how formidable Sabalenka can be as a player when she brings maximum intensity on court, is accurate with her shots, and tactically organized. The Belarusian delivered a masterclass in tennis, coming out all guns blazing from the start and catching Gauff off guard, who lacked spark in her movements and the necessary depth in her shots to avoid being completely dominated.

It was a harsh reality check for the American, faced with a clear dilemma; either raise her level or be overwhelmed in the final. She managed to do so from the beginning of the second set, putting more topspin on her forehand, hitting a higher percentage of first serves, and moving swiftly around the court aiming to dictate the rhythm of the match.

The match entered a much more favorable scenario for her interests, with Aryna uncomfortable in finding the right positions to take control against a rival growing in confidence. Gauff confirmed her good feelings with a timely break in the tenth game, capitalizing on unexpected errors from Sabalenka who struggled to read the changes in trajectory proposed by her opponent. A true display of character by the young American, but above all, of tactical intelligence.

Sabalenka countered Gauff's tactical adjustments in the third set

With tension running high due to the competitiveness of both players and the balanced nature of the match, the third set promised intensity and did not disappoint. Aryna got down to business, showcased her ability to endure, and once again raised the intensity of her shots and the speed of her movement from the baseline. She secured an early break and remained imperturbable on serve, stepping back onto the court with as much determination as accuracy in her shot execution.

There's nothing to reproach Cori Gauff for; she tried everything and left everything on the court, making tactical adjustments and proving she is a contender for glory in all major tournaments. This time, it was Aryna Sabalenka who clinched the victory, securing her Sunshine Double with this brilliant title at the 2026 Miami Open. We are witnessing the development of a legendary career by a tennis player destined to break all kinds of historical records.
