Djokovic thrashes Murray in Miami
Britain's Andy Murray was humbled 6-1 6-0 by teenage rival Novak
Djokovic in the Miami Masters semi-final.
The much-touted clash of the 19-year-olds never got going as the in-form
Serb completely overwhelmed a sluggish-looking Murray.
The 10th seed, who also beat Murray in the Indian Wells semi-finals
earlier this month, broke the Scot five times as he romped through the
last 11 games.
It was a superb tactical display from Djokovic, who won in just 62
minutes.

The Serb served well and used great shot selection - with his drop shot
especially effective - to subdue Murray.
But Murray was uncharacteristically out of sorts as he slumped to his
heaviest defeat so far on the ATP Tour, with his backhand in particular
constantly misfiring.
It's the worst match I've probably played since I've been on the Tour
Andy Murray
After both players held their opening serves, Murray was 0-40 up on his
opponent's serve but Djokovic managed to hold and the Scot was unable to
carve out any further chances as the match raced away from him.
Djokovic now has a 3-0 career record against Murray.
Murray was suffering with an ankle injury when he lost in straight sets
to Djokovic earlier this month but he refused to blame his physical condition
this time around.
"It's the worst match I've probably played since I've been on the Tour,"
admitted the 12th seed.
"He played better than me today. I wasn't very good so no excuses.
"I gave him a lot of free points. He played a great match and hardly made any
unforced errors.
"He serves well, he's solid on the return, he moves good. He does everything
pretty well. He deserves to be in the top 10.
Canas returned to the game last September after a drugs ban
"I had my chance at the start of the match to break him. Maybe if I had got
myself ahead I could have got a bit more confidence in my shots."
In the final, Djokovic faces Guillermo Canas, who beat Ivan Ljubicic 7-5 6-2.
Canas, who beat Roger Federer for the second time in a fortnight to reach the
quarter-finals, is the first qualifier to get this far in the tournament.
"I'm feeling great to be in the final," he said. "I will try to beat a sixth
seed in a row.
"But Djokovic plays very well. He has a lot of confidence. He made the final
in Indian Wells and now he is in the final here.

Your reaction to Andy Murray's Miami Masters defeat
"I think it's going to be a tough match for me. But really, I feel very
confident in my game. I know if I play well, I have a chance to beat him.
"I will just I try to do my best and tomorrow I'm going to start thinking
about the final. But today, I will try to enjoy what I did."
Victory would make Canas only the second unseeded player to win this
tournament after Tim Mayotte, who won the inaugural event in 1985.
