Indian Wells and Miami are called "Sunshine Doubles" by fans, not only because of the comfortable climate and playing atmosphere, but also because of the status of the tournament after the Grand Slam and the year-end finals.
In the past, there were only a few players who were able to reach the top in these two tournaments in succession, so let's take a look at which players have achieved this achievement.
Djokovic
Quad (2011/2014/2015/2016)
Djokovic, one of the Big Three, is currently the player who has achieved the most consecutive doubles titles in north America, and he has achieved this achievement four times.
In his year of strong outbursts for Djokovic, he made his first consecutive topped Indian Wells and Miami in the 2011 season, beating Nadal in both men's singles finals.
Djokovic beat Federer and Nadal in 2014, Federer and Murray in 2015, and Raonic and Kei Nishikori in the 2016 season.
Federer
Three times (2005/2006/2017)
Federer, who won Indian Wells and Miami three times in a row, spanned twelve years in between, and the swiss king first achieved this achievement in 2005.
He defeated Hewitt and Nadal in the two men's singles finals, and in 2006 the Swiss king defeated Blake and Lyubic.
Federer's last double victory at the North American Sunshine was in the 2017 season, when he defeated Wawrinka and Nadal in the two finals.
Agassi
One Time (2001)
In addition to Djokovic and Federer, the remaining players who have won the two championships in the North American Sunshine doubles are currently retired, and some names are even unfamiliar to fans.
American champion Agassi won two consecutive championships in Indian Wells and Miami in 2001, when he defeated Sampras and Gambier.
Rios
Once (1998)
As one of the few tennis players to reach the top of the world but failed to win a Grand Slam singles title, Rios also has back-to-back championships in Indian Wells and Miami.
1998 was his world number one season, with he reached the final in Indian Wells and defeated Rucedski, while Miami beat king Agassi.
Sampras
One Time (1994)
14-time Grand Slam champion Sampras also has a history of winning the North American doubles, and the American champion, who has won four Grand Slam singles titles in 1994, achieved this achievement on home soil.
Sampras defeated Korda and Agassi in the two finals.
In addition, Zhang Depei and Correll had a double experience in 1992 and 1991 respectively, so the question is, who among the women's players who have won the North American Sunshine Double Championship consecutively? (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
