Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have faced so little opposition so far at Miami, their biggest competition has been against each other for greatest serving dominance.

Federer has dropped 19 games overall through his first three matches, and just 18 service points through 27 service games. He has dropped 10 points on his first serve for a winning percentage of over

90 percent, and 8 points on his second serve for a winning percentage of over 75 percent. Along the way, Federer has faced just one break point, to Richard Gasquet in his last match.

Nadal, meanwhile, has dropped just nine games overall and 19 service points through 22 service games. Of those 19 points, 14 were on the first serve, for a winning percentage of 80 percent. Unusually, the Spaniard has had even more success on his second serve, losing just 5 points for a winning percentage of about 85 percent. He has faced three breaks points and saved them all.

In the Miami quarterfinals, Nadal will take on the big-serving Milos Raonic, while Federer faces the quick-footed Kei Nishikori.
