Defending champion Novak Djokovic had to
launch a first-set comeback to overcome Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov
to reach the Miami Open quarter-finals.
Djokovic was made to work for his 6-7(3) 7-5 6-0 win over world number 65 Dolgopolov.
"I was literally a game or two from losing the match. I'm just happy to be able to bounce back," Djokovic said.
"These particular matches do help me in a certain way mentally to
gain that confidence and self-belief in a way that I never give up and
battle till the last point, and it sends a message to the other players,
as well.”
Djokovic, who is seeking a fifth title at Key Biscayne,
will face Spaniard David Ferrer in the quarters. Ferrer earlier ousted
countryman Rafael Nadal in three sets.
