Roger Federer beats Rafael Nadal: Miami Open final – as it happened
Roger Federer wins the Miami Open 6-3, 6-4
Both players jog back from their seats to big cheers. Roger shows even the best of us get nerves when he starts the game with a double fault. Then he does something, which separates him from the rest of us - the smoothest of backhands down the line to make it 15-15. Rafa shakes his head and allows himself a rueful smile as a crashing forehand clips the line and brings up match point. Roger’s serve is too good - Rafa can only bat it long and it’s another title for the great man.

AO draw: Dream start for Fed, tough for Serena
Roger Federer has been handed a dream start for his return to Grand Slam tennis, with the Swiss maestro slated to take on qualifiers in the opening two rounds of Australian Open 2017.
The 35-year-old 17-time Grand Slam champion only played two majors in 2016 and missed the second half of year due to a knee injury.
Seeded 17th, the lowest he has ever been at Melbourne Park, the Swiss star faces a potential third-round meeting with 10th seed Tomas Berdych, and is in the same quarter as top seed Andy Murray and fifth seed Kei Nishikori.
Long-time rival Rafael Nadal, who is also working his way back from injury, will open his tournament against German Florian Mayer.
The Spanish ninth seed could face sixth seed Gael Monfils in the fourth round, and is also in the same quarter as third seed Milos Raonic as he bids to become the first man since Rod Laver to win each Grand Slam at least twice.
