Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and returning Roger Federer are targeting Miami Open title
Wednesday 23 March 2016 18:25, UK
Andy Murray will be setting his sights on another Miami Open final appearance when the hard court tournament starts this week.
The British No 1 came within touching distance of the title at last year's event, suffering a 7-6 4-6 6-0 defeat to Novak Djokovic in the final.
Djokovic again heads a high-quality field in Florida and will be joined by the returning Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka, and Rafael Nadal.
Murray will face either Borna Coric or Denis Istomin in the second round, while possible match-ups against Gael Monfils or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga could lie ahead.
Djokovic warmed up by winning the Indian Wells Masters on Sunday and will face either British No 3 Kyle Edmund or Jiri Vesely in the other side of the draw.
World No 3 Federer has recovered from knee surgery and could secure another showdown with Djokovic if he reaches the semi-finals.
Nadal will have taken confidence from last week's run in California, losing to Djokovic in the semis, but an unkind draw has set up a possible fourth round clash with Milos Raonic.
Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori and Nick Kyrgios - all recent title winners this year - will also be seeking extended runs in the competition.
