“I was a little bit nervous in the first set and part of the second,” Ferrer said. “But I tried to fight every point, to be focused and I had a good feeling in the final of the second set and of course in the third one.”

“All the credit to him,” Djokovic said. “He played a great match and he was the better player, no question about it. The results show everything. As far as I’m concerned, it’s definitely the worst match I have played in a long time.”

Serena Williams says she bought herself a Rolls Royce to get over a mid-life crisis of turning 30.

Other seeds advancing were No. 17 Sam Querrey receiving a walkover against No. 14 Milos Raonic (strep throat), and No. 16 Andreas Seppi outlasting Thomaz Bellucci in three to set up a meeting against Murray.

Novak Djokovic continues to dominate in Miami upping his win streak there to 14 straight after Sunday’s windy win. Then he went to watch the Miami Heat!

Maimi resident Andy Murray had no trouble with Bernard Tomic on Saturday at the Sony Open. Serena Williams also advanced but sister Venus had to withdraw with a back injury.

On a night when the grounds went dark, Novak Djokovic suffered no power outage in Miami, crushing Lukos Rosol. But Juan Martin Del Potro wasn’t as fortunate in an opening round bracket busting loss.

“My attitude is that it always feels better when you’re No.1,” Williams opined. “There’s nothing like when they announce you and they say, ‘The No. 1 player in the world.’ So for me it definitely gives me a little bit more confidence, I think a little bit more pep in your step. It’s just a great feeling.

“He played way better every time he was behind in the match,” Hewitt said after topping Joao Sousa. “Whenever he’d get back on serve in the second set, he actually played worse. When he was behind, he sort of just went for it a lot more. That was tough because he sort of had nothing to lose.”

“I tried to be ready for Indian Wells but my ankle wasn’t ready, so I had to wait another few weeks,” Na said. “I really wanted to be 100 percent ready to come back to the court, because otherwise it would be dangerous. I’ve been really looking forward to coming back. I feel like I had another off-season just now.”
