Federer won his 20th match this year and has had only one loss
Updated : Sep 30, 2017, 09:29 PM IST
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 six-month injury absence, broke once in each set on the Crandon Park hardcourt for his fourth consecutive victory over the Spaniard.
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 hard court
Twitter was full of praise for the Swiss great with tributes coming from all over.
Sunshine completed. Thank you @rogerfederer #FedererNadal #Fedal37 #MiamiOpen #MiamiOpenfinal
