Roger Federer has made history by becoming the oldest ever winner of the Miami Open courtesy of a straight-sets victory over Rafael Nadal on Sunday.
The two great rivals met for the 37th time in their storied careers at the same venue as their first ever contest 13 years ago, and it was the 35-year-old Federer to claimed his third title of 2017 with a 6-3 6-4 victory.
It was Nadal who came out on top in their third-round Miami Open clash in 2004, but the Spaniard’s hoodoo at the competition continued as he made it five finals without lifting the trophy.
