March 27 (Reuters) - Jiri Lehecka produced a masterclass of precision and control to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 final, dismantling Arthur Fils 6-2 6-2 in just 75 minutes at the Miami Open on Friday. The 24-year-old Czech was dominant from the opening game, breaking the 21-year-old Frenchman early and never relinquishing his grip. Fils briefly threatened a revival at the start of the second set but he struggled with his consistency, committing a total of 21 unforced errors to Lehecka's 14, with three double faults. I'm just trying to do what I do best," Lehecka said. The world number 22 will face either Jannik Sinner or Alexander Zverev in Sunday's final.
