Recaps Tuesday's matches that involved Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic as the top three players on tour advanced.
Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer all advanced at the 2011 Miami Masters on Tuesday as they each booked their spots in the tournament's quarterfinals.
Nadal defeated Alexander Dolgopolov with ease as the world number one advanced with a 6-1, 6-2 victory. Next up for Nadal is a quarterfinal match against Tomas Berdych, a finalist from the Miami Masters from one year ago.
Novak Djokovic really has Viktor Troicki's number and the world number two proved that again on Tuesday. Djokovic had little trouble eliminating his countryman with the final result being 6-3, 6-2. That result improves Djokovic's heads-up record against Troicki to 9-1 and next up in the semifinals is Kevin Anderson.
Roger Federer played Olivier Rochus in the late match from the Miami Masters and Federer took the match down 6-3, 6-1 as he served at 68% on his first serve with just one double fault.
Federer advances to the quarterfinals where he will meet Gilles Simon, as the French player defeated Janko Tipsarevic earlier today.
