Andy Murray is ready for a fresh start at the Miami Masters as the No. 3 tries to make inroads in the rankings against Roger Federer. The Scot’s quarter-final loss to Juan Del Potro in Indian Wells assured that Federer will remain second in the world for the next few weeks.

But Murray has his eye on the prize and hopes to raise his form in the home of his training base on the Atlantic. “I didn’t think I played particularly well the first few matches and I still won,” he told Scottish media. “The last few years here, I haven’t played well and I’ve lost. Today I played some decent stuff – it wasn’t consistent enough. I didn’t play well enough for a long enough period of time to win against a top player.

“But I need to just keep working and see the things I can improve on because, obviously, it doesn’t matter how much you practice – you can hit the ball great in practice or work on loads of things but, when you’re in those tight situations, you can’t substitute match play and playing in tournaments. So, it’s good that I managed to get four matches here and a couple of doubles, which I haven’t had the last couple of years and, hopefully, that will help me in Miami.”
