Djokovic through to Miami Open quarter-finals

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.
