The only saving grace is we are already done with Murray Djoko. This is the second fed djoko final in a row and there may be more this year if Nadal and Murray continue to fall behind. Dimitrov couldn't even beat Robredo. Only Raonic is showing signs of improvement.

Djokovic wins 6-3, 6-7, 6-2! :clap: Hello Arvind: Yes, it sure was very good tennis!:) The score does not reflect how close it was. As Djokovic had predicted before the match, it sure was the “ultimate final”. Congratulations to both players! :clap:

"It's great that I managed to win this match in the big tournament and to win it in a way that I felt like I was the better player on the court," Djokovic said. "It's going to give me confidence, not just for future matches that I play against [Federer], but just for Miami and the rest of the season."
"Novak did well to sustain the lead for most of the match; I think he found an extra gear in the end," Federer said. "It was tough. You know, I enjoyed the match; it had a bit of everything. Controlled aggression was the key out there to try to play like that from the baseline."

^ There were glimpses of brilliance from both, but overall it was the tension filled drama that really made the match worthwhile not the tennis quality. If someone had told me in the beginning that Djokovic would commit three DFs in a tie break I would have certainly dismissed the notion as mere fantasy. But it happened. And Federer repaid Djokovic with one of his own to lose his service game in the third. The drama was nerve wrecking but the tennis quality a tad sub par. Federer had a bad service day, had an even worse baseline game for the first set and a half. And with Novak being so solid as he is nowadays, it was always going to be an uphill task for Federer to win. Federer missed an overhead and lost a point to give Novak a mini break in the tie break. If not for Djokovic's DFs in the tie break the match may have finished in two sets. Overall the better man on the day won.

I swear. Djoko made mincemeat of Isner in the second. Poor Isner came in on half decent (but not deep enough) approaches only to find Djoko pulling off the most amazing passing shots. Djoko's backhand was absolutely on fire in the match. Yet another Miami title very much on the cards unless Muzza can spring a surprise.
Key Biscayne used to be considered a fifth slam and was by far the most prestigious of the Masters series tournaments but with Fed and Rafa's chronic underperformance at the event, it has become a poor cousin of Indian Wells. Sad.
