This was not exactly a thrilling final (other than the odd moment when Marin Cilic managed to get a point replayed because the ball had been damaged). Tomas Berdych was never broken -- indeed, never faced a break point after his first service game -- and he converted three of four break points against Cilic. He won almost 60% of the points.
Simona Halep found a peculiar way to win this title: She picked on Angelique Kerber's first serve. Kerber won only 52% of points on first serve -- slightly below her percentage on second serves. But, hey, whatever works; Halep broke four times, and was never broken.
Greg Norman turned up at the Delray Beach Open to support his former caddy and Lleyton Hewitt did not disappoint the Great White Shark, getting his jaws into Bradley Klahn to win 6-3, 6-1.

Andy Roddick rounded off a hugely successful day for Team USA in Delray Beach with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Team International's Mikael Pernfors. Pernfors was powerless in the face of Roddick's booming serve and thunderous forehand, both of which were on sublime form under the lights at the Delray Beach Tennis Centre on Saturday evening.

Nine years after his last ATP appearance in the country as a raw teenaged talent, Rafael Nadal is back on court in Brazil and eager to make a fresh start in 2014 in the land of football and samba.
After all the upsets we'd had to this point, this seems almost unnatural. A seed winning? What is the world coming to? What Tomas Berdych is coming to, or at least coming close to, is the #6 ranking. Win the title and it's his; indeed, he will be just bare points behind Juan Martin del Potro in the contest for #5. Ernests Gulbis will be #23 or #24.
Talk about brutal -- Agnieszka Radwanska was broken seven times. In the short term, surprisingly, it doesn't make much difference. Radwanska had already earned the #3 ranking, and that was as high as she could go. But she loses her chance to reach #2 next week. Simona Halep is still at #10, but she'll be #9 if she wins the title.

Former World Number One Andy Roddick made a blistering start to his ATP Champions Tour career with a 6-3, 6-3 defeat of his 'childhood hero' Mats Wilander.
