I haven't watched too much of the tournament but I've definitely been following the tournament's progress. I'll probably watch the men's semifinals today (Friday 4/3).

I probably haven't watched as much tennis my entire life than I have the past two weeks - since I was there in the stadium and watched a lot of these players in person practicing, I've been DVRing everything. Unfortunately, I found out the results of the Serena - Simona Haleb match and didn't really watch it in its entirety - fast forwarded to the end.

Good win for Murray today. In to his 4th Miami final. He's now 6-6 vs Berdych.

Unless Isner serves up a storm against Djokovic, it look like another Murray vs Djoker final.

Come what may, Murray will be back to No.3 in the rankings.

Just hoping he can step it up this time, he is playing 2nd best in the world right now or at least on par with Fed. But Novak is one mean mutha who is incredibly tough to dislodge from these titles. Done it before, here's hoping!

I wouldn't mind seeing Murray win it all. Not my favorite style of play - but tired of Novak winning so much. Really thought Nishikori would beat Isner, but that serve was too tough to handle.

Murray hasn't beaten Djokovic, Nadal, or Federer since his back surgery, so I don't feel comfortable ranking him ahead of any of those guys until he actually does so. I will say Murray has been playing considerably better since fall of 2014 (post-U.S. Open) however.

He is in better form than Nadal though no? I'd say him and Fed are currently playing best of the rest after Novak.

Strangely I think a loss may actually be good for Novak, but most likely he is now geared for the possibility of 3rd IW-Miami double.
The way that Novak handled Isner was brilliant, he withstood the barrage, then just dismantled the big man with the huge serve.

I actually agree with the above, but I don't feel comfortable saying Murray is playing better than Federer or Nadal until he beats one of those guys or Djokovic.
