It was a spectacular final in Miami and the world #1 didn't lose by much, especially in the thrilling third set. However, it was not to be the day for world #1 Rafael Nadal, as he lost the Miami championship to Novak.
The clay court season starts next week so it's very important that Rafa plays at the same level as last year. Otherwise, he would lose a lot of points and allow Novak near his #1 ranking.
This was Rafa's path to the finals of Miami -
F - lost to Novak Djokovic (SRB) (#2) 46 63 76(4)
SF - Roger Federer (SUI) (#3) 63 62
QF - Tomas Berdych (CZE) (#7) 62 36 63
4R - Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) (#23) 61 62
3R - Feliciano Lopez (ESP) (#41) 63 63
2R - Kei Nishikori (JPN) (#62) 64 64
1R - BYE
