Rafa Nadal will be back in action today at the Miami Masters Series event in Florida, ready to please the lovely Florida crowds with a double appearance this afternoon.

He is scheduled to play singles in the second match of the day, right after the Tipsarevic vs Juan Martin Del Potro encounter which begins at 11am (local time).

The newly crowned Indian Wells champ will play Frederico Gil, a 25 year old from Portugal who is ranked 75th in the world and who he's never played before.

Frederico, comes into the third round of the Sony Ericsson Open after beating a very tough opponent in the shape of Ivo Karlovic 6-4, 6-4, in comparison to Rafa who had an easier job sending Russian Gabashvili packing after a 6-2, 6-2 victory.

“I'm very happy. I think Gabashvili didn't play that bad", said Rafa after his singles match, "This is a very important tournament where I have played two finals and lost both, so I'd be great if I could take it all the way this time”, said the Australian Open champ.

Later in the afternoon, (after a deserved break), Rafa will jump back on court ready to play the second round of doubles with his friend Marc Lopez.

The Spanish pair beat last-minute opponents Brunstrom and Rojer in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6(5) and will now face Soares and Ullyett for a chance to make it into the third round.

The match is scheduled after the following matches:
