Federer Dominates Gasquet in Miami

After Kei Nishikori battled for 3 hours 5 minutes to defeat David Ferrer in a third set tiebreak, Roger Federer took just 49 minutes to send Richard Gasquet packing. The Swiss maestro was dominant, continuing his strong serving this season, as he lost only eight points on serve in the 6-1 6-2 clinic. Federer hit five aces to no double faults, winning 88% of points on his first serve, along with 25 winners. He has lost just 18 points on serve this week at Crandon Park.

Picking his spots, the two-time Sony Open champion won six of eight points at net and converted all but one of six break point opportunities.
