He closed out the second set tie-break on his first match point to seal the win in two hours and 18 minutes, becoming just the third male to lift three trophies in Miami <\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old Djokovic is the first player to win the tournament without losing a set since accomplishing the same feat in 2007, when he beat Guillermo Canas to pick up his first Masters 1000 trophy. He is also the first top-ranked player to finish in the winner&#8217;s circle since Roger Federer won back-to-back trophies in 2005-2006.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any title is big, and it means a lot,&#8221; said Djokovic. &#8220;I&#8217;ve won three times here. I think that says enough about how I feel playing in Miami. I love the crowd. I have been really playing well in the last couple of years here, so this is going to be very encouraging for me prior to the clay-court season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Miami: <\/strong>World No. 1 Novak Djokovic defeated 2009 titlist Andy Murray 6-1, 7-6(4) to win the Sony Ericsson Open title for the third time at Crandon Park here on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1445,761,234,2576],"class_list":["post-4208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-world-tennis-news","tag-andy-murray","tag-novak-djokovic","tag-roger-federer","tag-sony-ericsson-open"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Novak Djokovic beats Murray to win Sony Ericsson Open for the third time - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
