The draw has been made for the Miami Open, the second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament in 2016.
Rafael Nadal is fifth seed and has a bye in the first round. He will open his campaign against either Leonardo Mayer or Damir Dzumhur.
Rafa is in the bottom half of the draw with Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori.
- Novak Djokovic vs Tomas Berdych
- Roger Federer vs David Ferrer
- Rafael Nadal vs Stan Wawrinka
- Kei Nishikori vs Andy Murray
Last year our champ lost in the third round to Fernando Verdasco 4-6, 6-2, 2-6.
In Rafa’s four trips to the final, he has lost to Djokovic (2014, 2011), Davydenko (2008) and Federer (2005). Miami is one of just three Masters trophies missing from Rafa’s mantle (Paris, Shanghai).

GOOD LUCK & VAMOS RAFA!
Go Rafa Go, as the Aussies say! Vamos Rafa. God bless you Champ. Your Aussie Abuela.
I just Wish him Good Luck.I want to see more energy in rafa.Moreover Play as aggressive as he can.
I doubt Rafa will in this tournament on this surface. He is starting to come good in time for the clay season and then we will see where he’s really at. I still feel he needs to hit a little flatter at times and angle his cross court shots more acutely when possible. I believe he’ll win the French again if he can keep his form and confidence up.
Rafa is and will always be a champion and a perfect role model respected by all Rafa knows what he has to do I have all faith in him to be at the top of his game vamos Rafa good luck Michael leone
Rafa will handle Kygrios and everyone else with his usual professionalism.
This time he will win the tournament.
Hmnn………………..

Fan natic fan … Vamos Rafa love you win or lose…you are are already a tennis God and beloved my millions …Keep up the same and in no time you will be back up on top where you so belong!!!
I ‘m praying that the quarters will be against Stan the Man.
Otherwise, if it ishould be against Kyrgios, I see something unpleasant (to put it mildly) …..
So, c’mmom fans, let’s start praying now!

So far all encouraging comments from Rafa fans, despite the losses recently, he is making great strides in the confidence issues, long may it continue. No, I am not delusional but a realist and therefore firmly believe he will get wins in this tournament, it is there for all to see, so Vamos to Rafa👍👍👍😊
Good luck for Miami. It’s not an easy draw but you can do it. Vamos Rafa!!!
wishing him to continue his good form in Miami .
