Many fans argue he was robbed after an incorrect line call in the third set shifted the match momentum, allowing Roger Federer to pull off a historic comeback. An 18-year-old Nadal was playing his first ATP Masters 1000 final and had Federer on the ropes, leading 2-6, 6-7(4), 3-4. With Federer serving 3–4 down in the third set, Nadal had a 30–0 advantage. Federer hit a forehand that appeared to land several inches wide. The linesperson and the umpire did not call it out, denying Nadal a 40–0 lead with three break points which would have won him the game as Nadal won the third point after that. Hawk-Eye challenges did not exist at the time, leaving Nadal visibly frustrated with no way to appeal the decision. Federer won the game, held his momentum, and secured the third-set tiebreaker. An exhausted Nadal physically faded in the final two sets, ultimately losing 2-6, 6-7(4), 7-6(5), 6-3, 6–1 after three hours and 43 minutes. While the blown call remains a massive "what-if" for his fans, the loss essentially sparked his legendary 81-match winning streak on clay that began weeks later.ANALYSIS | Rafael Nadal and the Miami Open shaped thorn in his side: The ATP 1000 that always eluded himRoger Federer vs Rafael Nadal | Miami Masters 2005 Final | Full Match |Where It All Began Seeds All thirty-two seeds received a bye to the second round.
