| Roger Federer Miami 2017 |
Roger Federer continued his recent mastery of Rafa Nadal when he beat his great rival 6-3 6-4 in the final of the Miami Open on Sunday.
Federer, peerless this year after returning from a 6-month injury absence last year, broke once in each set on the Crandon Park hardcourt for his fourth consecutive victory over Rafa.
Nadal still leads their career head-to-head record at 23-14, due entirely to his superiority on clay, but Federer now leads 10-9 on hardcourt.
Federer leads 19-1 this year, winning the Australian Open in five sets over Nadal, and Indian wells in straight sets over Stan Wawrinka, while his only loss was against Evgeny Donskoy in the second round in Dubai.
