The pundit Catherine Whitaker praised Roger Federer's Miami Open win. The Swiss player dropped off just a set, against Radu Albot in the opening round, throughout the whole tournament. Speaking on The Tennis Podcast, Whitaker said: "His performance against Radu Albot, that was not the performance of someone who was going to go on and win that tournament. No way. I underestimated the determination of Roger Federer to win that title. I thought he looked like grumpy Federer, really grumpy and I thought he might not fancy it. I think Djokovic going out helped, his eyes lit up and he thought, ‘Hey this is a big chance for me to get a big title.’ As much as he tells us he isn’t thinking about No 109 or No 110, I believe it’s there somewhere. I think his eyes lit up, that was a big thing.”

Asked to pick the best match of the week by Federer in Miami, Whitaker added: "Medvedev, that was sublime. He didn’t do an awful lot wrong, he had that look of shock and horror like he didn’t know what had hit him. Medvedev believes in himself, he’s not got baggage against Federer, I think he did go out there thinking, ‘I’ve got a shot here.’ He didn’t know what had hit him after a few games. That was brutal. Then Kevin Anderson comes along, is 6-0, 6-2 down. He didn’t know what had hit him either.”
