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?”
