Andy Murray defeated Novak Djokovic 6-2, 7-5 to won his third ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament and to become the first British champion at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. He raised his season record to 21-2 with this victory.

"Miami, it's a little like my second home here, it's where I train before the season, I'm happy to win here," Murray said after the match.

“I think any time you win a tournament, obviously it gives you confidence,” said Murray. “The Masters 1000s have always been after the slams, they're tough tournaments to win. Like all of your wins, it contributes to your confidence going into the slams.”

Novak was fast down 4-0 in the first set. He started better the second set, but then - like he stopped to play! It was obvious that he was struggling with the heat, he called for a trainer early in the second set.

“I was, I think, the biggest enemy to myself. I was struggling again and adjusting to the heat,” admitted Djokovic. “I was really impatient at the start. Made a huge number of unforced errors, and he was just playing very solid and waiting for his chances and serving quite well, moving all over the court quite good. Then I managed to come back second set. I didn't play smart on the 5-3. I had two set points, and I could have served a bit better. He made some good returns on the first set point. On the other set point, double fault. Generally, I'm not really satisfied with the way I played today."

“I think physically he's moving much better all over the court,” said Djokovic of Murray’s improvement. “The balls he wasn't getting before he is now. The switch of defensive to offensive tennis in the points - he is really good, one of the best in the world. I think that makes him a much better player than he used to be.”

This win also moves Murray to within 170 points of the third-ranked Djokovic going into the European clay-court circuit - where Murray will drop just 520 points between ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo and Roland Garros, while Djokovic will lose 2,800 points in the same span.
