I went one year when it was in Key Biscayne. Nice place.

I bet it is nice at the Hard Rock too. Wish I were there right now.

Roger and Rafa have a great equation. But between Novak and Fed they have bad blood, as Novak’s camp has always thrown mud at Fed much like a cheap brand trying to emulate a name brand and coming on top by comparing themselves in an ad.

Serena pulls out of Miami

Her body seems to be breaking down. She overcame health issues when she was younger but I think the complications from childbirth have sapped her. She can still win a tourney at any time but her days of dominance are over.

Makes sense. Wouldn't surprise me to see her still win a few more majors, but she won't have the season long consistency of winning a lot of tourneys.

I didn't realize Miami started so early last week. Just 2 days after Indian Wells.

Kerber calls upstart Andreescu 'drama queen'

Also, Venus Williams reached the fourth round of the tournament for the 16th time with a 6-3, 6-1 win over No. 14 Daria Kasatkina. Williams lost serve four times but won every return game, going 8-for-8.

"I've never had a match like that before in my life,'' she said. "There's always a time for a first. I'm returning really well.''

Williams won the title in 1998, 1999 and 2001. She's unseeded at Miami for the first time since 2012 but seems to be enjoying herself, smiling often, including when Kasatkina hit a shot between her legs.

"I never smile on the court, and this week I've smiled a lot,'' Williams said. "There's a lot to smile for. That's all I can say.''

Too bad Nadal is out. He's a 5 time Miami finalist.

This article kinda confirms Novak and Fed don't like each other.

Roger Federer gives significant response after being asked Novak Djokovic question

The article is vague though and doesn't really give specifics about what the differences in opinions over the structure of the ATP are.

Djokovic supported Chris Kermode, Federer and Nadal didn't. But I don't know why exactly that is an issue. What are the things about Kermode that Djokovic liked, or that Federer and Nadal didn't like?

Isner in a battle with Edmund.

Tsitsipas vs. Shapovalov could be the match of the afternoon.

Wow Novak eliminated.

Not the best Masters events for Novak this month.

Pretty shocking
