FIRST SET:

Murray 1-0- Troicki
Just the odd cotton wool cloud overhead and it's Murray to serve first. Long rally to kick off with and Troicki cracks first, putting a forehand into the middle of the net. Troicki nicks a point back, but Murray holds pretty easily, Troicki going wide with a backhand. It's hotter and steamier than a mug of Ovaltine in Miami, but Murray will still prefer this to last week's final in Indian Wells - it was gusting that day.

1836: My, this is some spot to play tennis. The Tennis Center at Crandon Park, adjacent to Ocean Drive, a light wind bustling across the court, it's all a bit country club. Lovely.

1830: Evening. It's Andrew Murray against Serbian world number 41 Viktor Troicki in Miami, and the British number one might have a grapple on his hands. Troicki upset number 14 seed David Nalbandian on Saturday and beat Tomas Berdych in Indian Wells last week. Murray, however, has won their one previous encounter - 6-3 6-3 in St Petersburg last year.
