Coco Gauff defeated Karolina Muchova 6-1, 6-1 to reach the Miami final. She saved seven of eight break points and converted six of her 11 chances in a dominant display.
This is her first Sunshine Double final in 13 appearances. She had never gone past the fourth round in Miami before and had only one semifinal showing in Indian Wells in 2024.

This is her first final of the season. She has won 16 of her 21 matches this year, including a semifinal in Dubai and a quarterfinal in Wuhan.
Gauff holds a 3-2 record in WTA 1000 finals, with both of her losses coming on clay in Madrid and Rome last year.
