World no 1 Novak Djokovic is back in action after breezing through second round against Lukas Rosol. Where he got victory just losing only one game. Now he will play against Samdev Devarman. This is their first meeting of the career. Samdev Devarman reached in 3rd round by beating Roger Vassiline when he was a set down. He got victory by 4-6 6-4 7-5. Samdev is an Indian but he is resident in America. His highest ranking was no 62 in 2010. Djokovic never lose in third round of Miami masters. Also he is riding on 13 match winning streak at this tournament. And tennis world is expecting that he will extend this streak in this match. Samdev best record here was in 2010 when he reached in 4th round but was lost by Nadal. Now he has to face another gruelling test against the man to beat since last two years.
David Ferrer is most advantageous man so far in the tournament due to two reasons. No 1 is that he reached in this round without lifting a racket. The no 2 reason is that his draw is open now because of del Potro's exit in the 2nd round. Now his way to the semi final is looking very clear. His 3rd round opponent is Fobio Fognini. Ferrer is leading head to head by 5-0 against him. And the same result is expected in this match. Ferrer is more fresh because of last round walk over. Fognini has 18-31 record in tournaments of masters 1000 level. Ferrer is little beast of tennis, he is little tennis machine. He work very hard for each point. He wins the match by exhausting the other player. The main issue for Fognini to beat Ferrer is to maintain the stamina from start to the end of the match. Otherwise Ferrer will cruise.
