Nadal gets his 300 th. win today! Three more match victories this week would give Rafael Nadal his ninth career title at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. For now, two are enough to help him arrive at a career milestone.
The Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters may not be a required 1000-point event, but this year's installment of the tournament does not look much different from any other 56-man Masters event.
With both men's semifinals not played because of walkovers, Miami may see its revenue for next year significantly affected by exchanged tickets.
If the purpose of the lesser events is to set the tone for Slams, Rafael Nadal is hearing sirens. This was about as one-sided as a Nadal/Djokovic match can be. It took only an hour and 23 minutes (a very short contest by their standards), and Djokovic won 60% of the points. He broke three times; he saved the only break point he faced.
This is almost unheard of ! How is it possible that both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal got what we call in tennis a "WALKOVER" ....ok , we get it a groin injury and a stomach bug. But really. There's no plan B ? You couldn't dig thru your mighty Rolodexes and make magic happen ?
Not much to say about this except that Kei Nishikori waited until about two hours before his match to pull it. We'll have to see if he can play Davis Cup. The loss means that he will leave here at #18. Djokovic has now had two walkovers and has played only three matches here!
Television coverage of Miami has been the subject of controversy over the past week, attracting scrutiny of the rights deals covering the tournament.
Echoes of Andy Murray's historic Wimbledon title are now fading after ten months but the London borough of Merton, actual legal home of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club, is set to revise them by bestowing a local honor on the Scot by making him Freeman of the Borough.

Miami Sony Open. It was a match that could have gone either way. Andy Murray versus Novak Djokovic. They played each other since they were little kids. But what happened in Miami yesterday belonged back in those days.
Argentina’s Damian Steiner has been regarded as one of tennis’ leading umpires for the last five years and as regular Supervisor at ATP Challenger events is perceived as having an excellent grasp of the rules of the game. However Andy Murray would have good cause to query that reputation after a glaring error in umpiring...
Juan Del Potro swallowed a tight semi-final loss to Roger Federer to exit the World Tour Finals with the Argentine determined to give even more of a challenge to his rivals in 2014.
The debate over whether Victor Troicki received a raw deal from the ITF and Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) when he was suspended for 12 months for failing to take a blood test took a new turn on Thursday when ATP Players’ Council chief Roger Federer weighed in more on the side of anti-doping authorities.
Regardless of the claims from Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic that the time is right for a change of venue for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, the chances of that happening within the next few years seems minimal.
