Roger Federer is once again the king of Miami after dismissing Rafael Nadal for the third consecutive time this season.

Battling to a 6-3, 6-4, win, the 35-year-old triumphantly saved four break points during the early stages of the match before dismantling his opponent. Ubitennis director Ubaldo Scanagatta and Steve Flink from the Tennis Channel reflect upon the significance of the final.

Shortly after his Miami win, Federer confirmed that he will not be playing any clay court tournaments before the French Open. The Swiss has explained that he wants to rest his body following a busy start to the season. Still, it is still uncertain if he will even play at Roland Garros after some interesting comments made by Federer during his Miami press conference.

Scanagatta and Flink also look ahead to the clay court season. Will Novak Djokovic regain some consistency? Can Andy Murray continue to live up to his No.1 status? Or Will Rafael Nadal enjoy another standout season on the surface?
