Andy Murray's win in Miami has propelled him to the world No. 2 spot in the rankings. This marks the first time since Nov. 10, 2003, that neither Federer nor Nadal has been ranked in the ATP top two. Make no mistake, Roger and Rafa may not be at the top of the rankings, but tennis fans still consider them the most entertaining competitors in tennis. The Sony Open made this point very evident. Despite the large number of withdrawals and injuries, no absence was missed more than the presence of Federer or Nadal. Nadal's resurgence and win at Indian Wells shows that he is in great shape heading into the clay season. 
 
Maria Sharapova nearly became the first female to win the Indian Wells/Miami double since Kim Clijsters did it in 2005. But Serena Williams stood in her way, capturing the Sony Open title and extending her winning streak against the Russian to 11-0.
