Federer wins in Miami; Ferrer, Murray go out

MIAMI: World No 1 Roger Federer beat Frenchman Gael Monfils 6-3, 6-4 in an entertaining second-round match at the Sony Ericsson Open on Saturday.

Women's seeds Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic also advanced but men's fifth seed David Ferrer and No 13 Andy Murray exited the tournament.

Top seed Federer, recuperating from glandular fever and without a title this year, surprisingly offered the world No 65 Monfils seven break-point chances, but never lost his serve.
