The Sabalenka vs. Gauff Miami Open Final Tops Previous Record, Set Weeks Earlier at Indian Wells—the Two Become Tennis Channel’s Most-Watched Women’s Matches Ever
LOS ANGELES, April 1, 2026 — Tennis Channel announced today that its live coverage of the Miami Open Women’s final between Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff delivered an all-time record for the network, surpassing the previous milestone that had been set weeks ago during the Indian Wells Women’s final between Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina. The 2026 Sunshine Double’s championship matches claimed the top two spots for most-watched women’s matches in Tennis Channel history.
Sabalenka’s dominant run through both Indian Wells and Miami further fueled the storyline, as the world No. 1 successfully defended both Sunshine Double titles.
She was joined in the record books by Jannik Sinner, who swept the Men’s Singles titles at both Indian Wells and Miami, and the Women’s Doubles team of Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniaková, who also claimed back-to-back Sunshine Double crowns.
