Hardly anyone has sent new points this week. In fact, only five players have. Therefore, I am postponing this event until something resembling a decent amount of people post me new points.

Spadea edges out Berdych to win Miami Masters

Home favourite Vince Spadea recovered from a second set bagel to defeat sixth seed Tomas Berdych in three sets and take the Miami Masters crown. Both players were appearing in their first final of the year but the more experienced Spadea got off to the better start, dropping the first game before winning the next six to take a comfortable lead. The Czech battled back, however, as Spadea's form sensationally dropped before both men produced their best tennis in the close final set. However Spadea, roared on by the partisan American crowd, was able to hold his nerve when it mattered most and took the decisive set 7-3 in the tie-break.
