The TickerAndy Murray is the champion in Miami after defeating Novak Djokovic 6-2, 7-5 in the final. After winning the first set easily and opening the second with a break, Murray went down 5-2 before winning the next five games to close out the match.

"I played a very good first set. Novak called the trainer after I broke him in the first game," recounted Murray. "Had a little break, and, you know, then he started to come to the net on 60, 70% of the points. I started mishitting some balls and lost my rhythm for a little while. But, you know, I obviously managed to find it when it was important at the end of that set."

Said Djokovic, "Yet again, I was, I think, the biggest enemy to myself. I was struggling again and adjusting to the heat."

Murray has now won three of the last five Masters events.

The TickerRafael Nadal, speaking to L'Express.fr, on his pre-match routine: "Before every match, I try to isolate myself from everybody with my iPod. It’s like a ritual I have before playing and it’s absolutely necessary for me to listen to one of the songs from the Phantom of the Opera."
