Beaten Djokovic sets sights on Miami

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, stunned by Juan Martin del Potro in the ATP Indian Wells Masters semi-finals on Saturday, wasted no time mourning the end of his 22-match winning streak.

The dominant player in men's tennis immediately turned his attention to Miami, where the second ATP Masters event of the season will start next week.

“It's sport,” Djokovic said of the end of a streak that had stretched back to October 31. “Now I need a few days off and I'll move on to Miami.” His 17 victories this year included his run to a fourth Australian Open crown -- his sixth Grand Slam title -- and a triumph in Dubai.

The surge was starting to recall the 43-match winning run he put together in the first half of 2011.
