Aryna Sabalenka clinched the 2026 Miami Open women's singles title by defeating Coco Gauff 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 in the final on March 28, completing the Sunshine Double after her Indian Wells triumph weeks earlier as world No. 1. Her dominant hard-court form, including straight-set wins over top seeds like Elena Rybakina en route, powered trader consensus to near-certainty, reflecting her superior power baseline game and 4-2 head-to-head edge over Gauff. Gauff's runner-up finish underscores her competitive run but highlights serving inconsistencies under pressure. With the official WTA result confirmed, only rare disputes like walkovers or disqualifications could theoretically challenge resolution, though none apply here.
