Nadal followed suit by losing his fifth consecutive final at Miami, going down to Federer in straight sets in the 2017 edition of the tournament. Previously, the Spaniard had also come up second-best in Miami finals in 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2014.

This makes the duo of Djokovic and Nadal the only players in Masters 1000 history to lose their first five finals at a single tournament.
