Roger Federer defeats Nadal again to take Miami trophy


Federer comes into this final on a three-match win streak against Nadal. That’s something that has never happened to him in the 13-year history of their rivalry, which dates back to this tournament in 2004.
Federer played well with good serves, back hand and force hand. He only need one break in each set to get win 6-3, 6-4. This is the 26th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title of Federer and also the third time he's won Indian Wells and Miami back-to-back and the first time since 2006.

Meanwhile, Nadal is still seeking for his first ATP World Tour title of 2017.

What do Federer and Nadal tell about their third final in this year?


"It's definitely going to be very special playing Rafa here again," Federer said. "Hopefully it's not our last match."

"I just thought: 'Eventually it's just going to catch up with me. I already won Indian Wells. So let's be realistic here,'" Federer said. "But here we are in the final, and I get a chance to win the tournament. Still I feel like there is a mountain to climb in Rafa. He's definitely feeling fresher than I feel right now."

"He's playing so good," Nadal said. "When top player like him is playing that well, then it's always a big challenge."


"Winning or losing, being honest, not going to change my career," he said. "It just helps to add something important for me, and that's it."

JOHANNA KONTA DEFEATS CAROLINE WOZNIACKI TO GET THE BIGGEST TITLE BY ANY BRISTISH WOMAN FOR 40 YEARS


Johanna Konta was winner in Final of Miami Open 2017 vs. Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-3 and got the biggest title of her 11-year career.
"To be honest, I actually couldn't kind of believe it was over," she said with a grin.
She will climb to a career-high No. 7 next week. She was the first British woman to reach a Key Biscayne final.
"On paper it looks like a quick turnaround," she said. "But it definitely has been a lot of years and a long time coming."
Konta showed her versatility on the final point, drawing Wozniacki to the net with a drop shot and then floating a lob off the back of the line for the clincher.

"She's very aggressive," Wozniacki said. "She takes the ball early and stresses the opponent."

Kyrgios was angry with crowd in semi final Miami Open 2017


In a match between the most popular man in tennis and the most misunderstood, the fans played a significant role in pushing Federer over the line. And not just by lifting his spirits.
The first set was forced into a tie-breaker with Kyrgios appearing to go into his shell a little as the crowd cheered and urged the Fed-Express on.
Early in the tie-break, Kyrgios started to lose his cool as the crowd became restless causing the young volatile star to take a bite out of ticket buyers.
As he was lining up his serve, the 12th seed paused and looked to the side of the court.
The umpire could sense the 21-year-old was starting to let his frustrations cloud his judgement and asked the crowd to settle down.
Kyrgios begins to bounce the ball again before he serves, yet stops again taking a look at the edge of the court in disgust as a crowd member screams ‘come on!’.
The umpire interjects again asking a fan to turn off their radio resulting in the Australian asking the crowd to ‘shut up!’, with the umpire again pleading with Kyrgios to let him take care of the situation.
The crowd starts playing up, laughing at the exchange before giving Kyrgios a collective boo over the incident.

Kyrgios promptly shanked the shot well wide and then started remonstrating with the fan in furious fashion. “Oh my god, shut up!” he shouted. “Shut the f--- up! What the f--- are you doing?”
