Great stuff Novak!!!
Slowly but surely the Serb approached the finals to then beat Murray in straight sets. Nole is like a very reliable diesel. He is not playing an overly exuberant tennis, but .. gosh.. he is always there!
Novak had 2 missions in this final. First get his (tennis) revenge against Andy that defeated him in the Dubai semis (how dared…???). Second.. oh yes….(!) win the tournament (a routine for Novak that did not work during the last 2 tournaments).
‘Any title is big, and it means a lot,’ said Djokovic. ‘I’ve won three times here. I think that says enough about how I feel playing in Miami. I love the crowd… I have been really playing well in the last couple of years here, so this is going to be very encouraging for me prior to the clay-court season.’
The Serb won 30 ATP titles and 11 1000 Masters.
‘I feel that being No. 1 and having the best year of my career in 2011, I’m playing at the peak of my form and I’m playing the best tennis that I have played,’ said Djokovic. ‘So I have to use that as much as I can, coming into every tournament that I play. The competition is getting stronger, I believe. Everybody is so professional nowadays. So that makes it even tougher for anybody to win a title. But I’m ready for it.’
Murray was not so happy about his performance. ‘I didn’t return well today, which is normally one of the best parts of my game. That was the difference, in my opinion,’ he said. ‘[I was] not getting into enough of his service games because I missed too many returns. If I was able to get into more longer rallies on his service games, then maybe it would have been a different result in the second set.’
The world nr.1 is back in style!!!
