Nole is a three-time Sony Ericsson Open<\/span><\/a> champion!<\/p>\n

World no.1 captured his 11th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title and 30th career trophy when he beat no.4 seed Andy Murray 6-1, 7-6(4) in 2 hours and 17 minutes on a hot Sunday afternoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Novak dominated the first set breaking Murray in the fourth and sixth games for 6-1.<\/p>\n

The second set went to a tie-breaker, Nole won it 7-4 to become just the third male to lift three trophies in Miami (Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras).<\/p>\n

Djokovic has not dropped a set at Crandon Park. En route to the final, he beat Marcos Baghdatis, Viktor Troicki, Richard Gasquet , David Ferrer and Juan Monaco.<\/p>\n

Novak is now 3-1 in Miami finals. He defeated Canas in 2007 and Nadal in 2011, and lost to Murray in 2009.<\/p>\n

Match statistics<\/span>: aces (5-3), double faults (1-3), winners (19-16), unforced errors (38-39), total points won (86-70).<\/p>\n

“Any title is big, and it means a lot,”<\/strong> said Nole. “I’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.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Serbian star will open clay season at Monte Carlo Rolex Masters.<\/p>\n

The first of three ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events played on clay will be held from April 15 to April 22 at the Monte-Carlo Country Club.<\/p>\n
