New Delhi, April 5 -- Hubert Hurkacz became Poland's first ATP Masters 1000 champion on Sunday after defeating 9-year-old Jannik Sinner 7-6(4), 6-4 in the Miami Open presented by Itau final. The match lasted one hour and 45 minutes.

"Last year I spent here almost half a year," Hurkacz said in an on-court interview. "I was practicing in the hottest weather during the spring and summer here, so I think that helped me a lot playing now in Florida, especially in these pretty tough conditions here, because it was a little bit slow here. The wind was blowing from side to side sometimes, so it's huge."
