World number two Novak Djokovic defeated Andy Murray 7-5, 6-3 to book his semi-final berth at the Miami ATP Masters.

Djokovic recovered an early break in the second set to notch the victory in one hour and 29 minutes.

It was the first meeting between the two since Murray defeated the Serbian in the Wimbledon final to become the first Briton since Fred Perry in 1936 to win the All England Club’s men’s singles title.

Djokovic, going for back-to-back Masters titles after his triumph at Indian Wells, next faces either Swiss fifth seed Roger Federer or Japan’s Kei Nishikori, who were playing later Wednesday.
