Miami: Britain's Andy Murray beat Serbia's Novak Djokovic 6-2, 7-5 to win the Miami Masters and clinch his third title of the year.

The world number four wrapped up victory after reeling off the last five games of the second set having seen Djokovic, the world number three, throw away his chance to level the final yesterday.

The Serbian, the champion here in 2007, had served for the second set leading 5-3, but a fifth double fault disrupted his fightback and his game quickly fell apart.

With the victory, Murray made further inroads on Djokovic s world number three ranking. Only 170 points now separate them. Murray became the first three-time winner on the ATP tour this year.

"Miami, it's a little like my second home here, it's where I train before the season, I'm happy to win here," Murray told the Florida fans as he accepted his trophy

The 21-year-old Scot dominated Djokovic for most of the match as the Serbian fell prey to a total of 43 unforced errors.
