On Sunday, April 3, men’s singles player Novak Djokovic defeated World No. 1 Rafael Nadal 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4) for his twenty-sixth consecutive victory.

The tournament, held annually at Crandon Park on Key Biscayne, drew a tournament-record 316,267 fans, even with the scorching Miami sun. Fans poured in from all over Miami, prepared to watch the twelve Americans entered in the 128-player field.

Defending champion, 8 seed Andy Roddick, lost his first match in the round of 64, following his first-round bye.

Eighteen-year-old Ryan Harrison qualified for the tournament as a Wild Card, but failed to advance past the first round.

American Mardy Fish advanced the furthest out of the twelve, reaching the semifinals but losing to none other than Novak Djokovic. To get there, Fish had to defeat Argentinean Juan Martin Del Potro, former World No. 4.

In the women’s final, 8 seed Victoria Azarenka blew past 16 seed Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-4 to earn her sixth WTA singles title.
