TENNIS/MIAMI MASTERS:ANDY MURRAY suffered final heartbreak at the hands of Novak Djokovic as he was beaten in straight sets at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami last night. The world number one bullied Murray's serve throughout to clinch his first title since the Australian Open, 6-1 7-6 (7-4).
Murray held his opening service game but he was ineffective thereafter as Djokovic produced the type of precise power hitting that has elevated him to the top of the world rankings. The Serbian broke Murray’s next two service games before comfortably serving out the first set in 47 minutes.
The Scot somehow forced a second set tie-break, despite being taken to deuce in four of his six service games, but Djokovic had enough answers to secure a successful title defence and reassert his dominance over his long-time rival.
