Novak Djokovic recovered from a slow start to overcome Spaniard David Ferrer to reach the Miami Open semi-finals.
Serbia's world No 1 Djokovic triumphed 7-5 7-5 to set up a
meeting with big-serving American John Isner, who overpowered Japan's
world No 5 Kei Nishikori 6-4 6-3.
Djokovic, the defending champion
and winner of the Indian Wells title less than a fortnight ago, came
from two breaks down in the first set as Ferrer made a quick start on
his 33rd birthday.
Djokovic now has eight-straight wins over Ferrer, winner of three titles already this season.
"David
is one of the toughest opponents. I knew the match would be physical,"
said Djokovic. "He gives you nothing and makes you work for every point."
"My
strategy was to try and dominate from the baseline, but stay alert for
chances to come to the net. That is something I've been working on. It
was a tough match, but one that I enjoyed. The next round will be
totally different against Isner, who has one of the best serves in the
game."
