Back Tennis: Novak Djokovic fights back to reach quarter finals in Miami

Reigning Miami Open champion Novak Djokovic had a tough fourth-round match but eventually beat Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov in three sets to reach the quarter-finals. Dolgopolov won the first set on a tie-break and then had a 4-2 lead in the second set but Djokovic fought back and won 6-7 (3-7) 7-5 6-0.

The current world number one will face David Ferrer in the quarter finals after the Spaniard defeated Gilles Simon 7-6 (7-5) 6-0 in the fourth round. On the same day Andy Murray recorded his 500th career win, 6-4 3-6 6-3 against South African Kevin Anderson

"I was literally a game or two from losing the match. I'm just happy to be able to bounce back," Djokovic said after the fourth-round match. "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.”

Novak Djokovic is 4/7 at Bet365 to win the Miami Open once again.
