Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic are through to the semi-finals of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami after conflicting quarter-finals.

Murray was leading 5-3 in the opening set of his clash with Andy Roddick before the American had to retire hurt with a hip injury.
The British number said: "I started very well but Andy was struggling badly with his injury and it was unfortunate that he had to pull out," said Murray.

"I'm definitely looking forward to the semis. I'm in good shape and I've got a lot of rest time and I'm feeling good going into it."
Murray will now hold an advantage over Djokovic in the last four, after the Serbian gained revenge over Rafael Nadal following his defeat at Indian Wells.

Djokovic ran out a 6-3 6-4 winner against the Spaniard to set up a clash against fellow 19-year-old Murray.
With a 2-0 winning record over Murray, Betfair punters have Djokovic as the 1.64 favourite to reach the final with the Scot trading at 2.32.
