Miami Open, Presented by Itau: Day 12 Media Notes Sunday, April 2, 2017 Miami Open, presented by Itau: Day 12 Media Notes Sunday, April 2, 2017 Tennis Center at Crandon Park, Miami, FL, USA | March 22-April 2, 2017 Draw: S-96, D-32 | Prize Money: $6,993,450 | Surface: Outdoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com MiamiOpen.com Maria Garcia-Planas: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @MiamiOpen Press Room: +1 305-365-3210 Facebook: @ATPWorldTour MiamiOpenTennis FEDERER-NADAL RIVALRY CONTINUES WITH 37TH MEETING, 4TH IN MIAMI • CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW: One of the greatest rivalries in the history of the sport, which started here 13 years ago at the Tennis Center at Crandon Park, will be renewed on Sunday in the championship of the Miami Open, presented by Itau. Superstars Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will meet for the third time this season and the 37th overall in a storied rivalry that began here in the third round on March 28, 2004. A 17-year-old Nadal won that match 63 63 and one year later (on April 3,2005) the two met in their first final against each other. Federer rallied to win 26 67 76 63 61. Now 12 years later, they meet again in the first all 30 & over final in the tournament’s 33-year history (Federer is 35 and Nadal 30). Nadal leads the head-to-head meetings 23-13 (tied 9-9 on hard courts) but Federer has won the past three meetings for the first time in the rivalry. Nadal is 14-8 in final meetings and owns a 12-5 advantage in ATP Masters 1000 tournaments (7-3 in finals). In their last Miami meeting in the 2011 sermi-finals, Nadal won 63 62. Since Nadal’s last win in the semi-finals at the 2014 Australian Open, Federer won in the final of his hometown Basel tournament in 2015. And after not meeting last year, Federer rallied to win in five sets at the Australian Open on Jan. 29 to earn his 18th Grand Slam crown, and in the 4R at ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells on Mar. 15. Federer outlasted No. 12 seed Nick Kyrgios 76(9) 67(9) 76(5) in a 3h, 11m semi-final battle on Friday night to advance to his fourth Miami Open final (2-1), the first since winning the 2006 title (d. current coach Ivan Ljubicic). His first final was a runner-up in 2002 (l. to Agassi). Federer comes in with a 10-match winning streak and 18-1 record on the season (6-0 vs. Top 10), his best start since 2006 when he went 33-1. Federer, at 35y, 7m, is trying to become the oldest Miami champion. He is also looking to become the first three-time winner on the ATP World Tour this season. Federer is 25-18 in ATP Masters finals and 90-48 in overall finals. Nadal has only lost one set en route to his fifth Miami final (2005, 2008, 2011, 2014). This is the 30- year-old Spaniard’s 13th appearance in Miami, the most attempts without winning a title. He is trying to become the first Spanish man to win the title. Spaniards are 0-7 in finals. He enters with a 19-4 match record in 2017, the most wins on the ATP World Tour. Nadal reached finals at the Australian Open (l. to Federer in five sets) and Acapulco (l. to Querrey) and he is not only trying to capture his 70th career title, the Mallorca native is also aiming to earn his first hard court title since Doha in January 2014 (d. Monfils). He has played in 31 hard court tournaments since the Doha title. A title would also be Nadal’s seventh different (eighth overall with Hamburg) ATP Masters 1000 crown and 29th overall, which would leave him one behind all-time leader Novak Djokovic. He would also join Andre Agassi as the only players to win an ATP Masters 1000 title in teens, 20s and 30s.

Murray, Djokovic, Nadal and Federer have won 57 of the last 62 ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, which dates back to Nadal’s triumph at Monte-Carlo in 2010.

INDIAN WELLS, MIAMI TITLE SWEEP: Since 1991, seven players have won the first two ATP Masters 1000 events of the season (11 times) in Indian Wells and Miami. Federer, who won both titles in 2005-06, and Djokovic, who has accomplished the feat a record four times (2011, ’14-15- 16), are the only active players to pull off this double ATP Masters 1000 sweep in the same year: Year - Novak Djokovic 2011, ’14-15-16 - Roger Federer 2005-06 - Andre Agassi 2001 - Marcelo Rios 1998 - Pete Sampras 1994 - Michael Chang 1992 - Jim Courier 1991 SPANIARDS IN MIAMI FINALS: Nadal is trying to become the first Spanish man to win the Miami Open title.Besides Nadal’s four runner-up showings, three other countrymen have reached the final, including his current coach Carlos Moya: 2017 – Rafael Nadal vs. Roger Federer 2014 – Rafael Nadal lost to Novak Djokovic 2013 – David Ferrer lost to Andy Murray 2011 – Rafael Nadal lost to Novak Djokvoic 2008 – Rafael Nadal lost to Nikolay Davydenko 2005 – Rafael Nadal lost to Roger Federer 2003 – Carlos Moya lost to Andre Agassi 1997 – Sergi Bruguera lost to Thomas Muster INFOSYS ATP SCORES & STATS: Coming into Final Miami Open Federer Nadal Aces 44 13 1st-Serve Percentage 57% (227 of 395) 71% (202 of 286) 1st-Serve Points Won 82% (186 of 227) 81% (163 of 202) 2nd-Serve Points Won 62% (104 of 168) 62% (52 of 84) Service Games Won 91% (59 of 65) 92% (48 of 52) Break Points Saved 60% (9 of 15) 67% (8 of 12) 1st-Serve Return Points Won 29% (81 of 284) 28% (49 of 177) 2nd-Serve Return Points Won 50% (90 of 181) 57% (84 of 147) Return Games Won 26% (10 of 64) 27% (13 of 48) Break Points Converted 26% (10 of 38) 48% (13 of 27) Miami Open, presented by Itau Day 12 – Sunday, April 2, 2017 Page 3 of 7 www.ATPWorldTour.com FEDEX ATP HEAD 2 HEADS: CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH [4] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [5] Rafael Nadal (ESP) Nadal Leads 23-13 04 ATP Masters 1000 Miami (USA) Hard R32 Rafael Nadal 6-3 6-3 05 ATP Masters 1000 Miami (USA) Hard F Roger Federer 2-6 6-7(4) 7-6(5) 6-3 6-1 05 Roland Garros (France) Clay SF Rafael Nadal 6-3 4-6 6-4 6-3 06 Dubai (U.A.E.)

  • Mardy Fish Named Us Davis Cup Captain
    MARDY FISH NAMED U.S. DAVIS CUP CAPTAIN WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., January 9, 2019 – The USTA today announced that former world No. 7 and Davis Cup veteran Mardy Fish has been named the new captain of the U.S. Davis Cup Team. He succeeds Jim Courier to become the 41 st captain in the team’s 120-year history and will make his debut at the newly transformed Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Finals November 18-24 in Madrid, Spain. “Ever since I started playing professionally and started understanding what the Davis Cup was and how special it was, even as a player, I wanted to be the Davis Cup Captain,” Fish said. “I just thought that position was so special – leading the guys and leading the team, building relationships and the team aspect around it. I’m a team-sport athlete stuck in an individual sport, and I love the team aspect of Davis Cup. To even be considered, let alone named the Captain, is incredibly humbling.” In this new era of Davis Cup, the role of Captain will be expanded, with the position working more closely with USTA Player Development throughout the year, as well as traveling to multiple tournaments and camps to support American players, serving as a mentor for American pros and juniors. He will also ensure the U.S. Davis Cup team remains a strong platform to grow the game through the USTA’s Net Generation youth initiative. “Mardy Fish embodies all of the qualities of a successful Davis Cup Captain and will be an invaluable asset to Team USA,” said USTA Chairman of the Board and President Patrick Galbraith.

The Argentine is 5-16 against Federer with all five wins on hard courts, none more meaningful than when he rallied from a set-and-a-break down to deny Federer a sixth straight US Open title. Del Potro can prevent history from being made again as Federer and Rafael Nadal are one win from meeting for the first time at the US Open. The Swiss and Spaniard have been this close six times now, including in 2009, when del Potro defeated Nadal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals before beating Federer in the final. • Nadal’s quarter-final opponent on Wednesday is #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev. The 19-year-old Russian is the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andy Roddick in 2001. Rublev would be the youngest semi-finalist at the US Open since Lleyton Hewitt in 2000 and at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at 2005 Roland Garros. A teenager has never defeated a World No.
