Singles + doubles champions in #MiamiOpen history: Richard Krajicek (1993 singles - 1999 doubles) Roger Federer (2003 doubles - 2005, 2006, 2017, 2019 singles) John Isner (2018 singles - 2022 doubles) Hubert Hurkacz (2021 singles - 2022 doubles) @HubertHurkacz 🤜🤛 @JohnIsner
John Isner and Hubert Hurkacz have conquered the doubles field at the Miami Open taking down Koolhof and Skupski in the final 7-6(5) 6-4.
A very unusual pairing made its doubles debut at the Miami Open as Hubert Hurkacz and John Isner decided to team up. Not only did they team up but they also played some superb tennis all week long to defeat some impressive doubles pairing en route to the trophy. In the final, they faced Koolhof and Skupski and they proved better.
It was a very entertaining double final with moments of brilliance by both. As expected serves dominated on both sides and there were not many chances for either pairing on return. The first set was very close with both pairs saving a couple of break points. It ended in a tiebreak where Hurkacz switched momentum to his team with a superb passing return.
At that point, Koolhof and Skupski were up a minibreak but after that, the American / Polish combination took over. They finished off the job with 7-5. In the 2nd set, things got a bit tricky for Isner and Hurkacz as they faced 15-40 early in the set. They held in superb fashion to keep themselves in the 2nd set and it proved crucial.
Koolhof and Skupski had no trouble winning the majority of their service points but they allowed themselves a break point late in the set that was a match point as well. Unfortunately for them, they were not able to win that deciding point giving their opponents the trophy.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
