Sony Open: Novak Djokovic suffers shock defeat to Tommy Haas
Novak Djokovic suffered a shock defeat to Tommy Haas to leave Andy Murray in the box seat at the Sony Open in Miami.
Haas completely outplayed the world number one for a 6-2 6-4 victory meaning Murray, who earlier beat Andreas Seppi, is the highest seed left in the tournament going into the quarter-finals.
From 2-1 down in the first set, Haas won seven straight games to go 6-2 2-0 up and, though Djokovic eventually broke back to level, the 34-year-old held on for his first victory against a world No 1 since 1999.
Haas held his first two service games to love and then sealed the first break of the match as Djokovic netted, and the Serbian handed him another with a poor shot at net.
The 15th seed took the first set in less than half an hour, then broke to open the second, in part thanks to a double fault from his opponent.
Djokovic saved break points in his next service game too, before holding to stop the rot, then pounced on some rare unforced errors from Haas to seal a break of his own and level at 3-3.
Haas broke again though at 4-4 and it proved decisive as he sealed the match at the second attempt with a forehand winner.
