Djokovic and Murray out of Miami

Could this be the break that we needed to witness another Federer/Nadal showdown? After their biggest threats, crashed out in the first round of the Sony Ericsson Open, Nadal and Federer now look poised to meet in the finals of a tournament, for the first time in nearly a year.

There's still quite a few opponents left in the draw who could stop this meeting and Roddick seems to be the best bet for doing it. Since, the start of the tournament Andy, has blown through all of his opponents, without losing serve once. While, that's very impressive, it won't necessarily translate over to a match-up with Nadal in the semi-finals.

But this is still a good sign for Roddick fans, Andy's playing well, serving well, and those are two things that he must do, to have any chance against Nadal, if they do meet later in the tournament.

I was disappointed to see Murray and Djokovic, crash out so early. This is going to cost them both, a serious amount of ranking points ( they made the finals here last year.) Not to mention this really doesn't bode well for Djokovic, heading into the clay court season. He has a lot of points to defend up until the French Open and given his recent form, I would be surprised if his ranking doesn't drop at least 2 spots.

Ironically, Juan Martin Del Potro, the guy who's been side-lined with an injury for two months. May be the player who benefits the most from these upsets. Starting in April, Nadal, Murray, and Djokovic, have a ton of points to defend and given their inconsistencies, don't be surprised if you see Del Potro, within striking distance of the #2 ranking, by the end of May.
