That`s all it is. I`m not feeling great when I`m playing this way. Of course, I want to be able to play as well as I want to play. Just it`s impossible at the moment.

That`s all. I lost to a better player," Djokovic said post his defeat.Elsewhere in Miami, Belgium No. 1 David Goffin was defeated by Portugal`s Joao Sousa 6-0 6-1.Goffin was playing his comeback match after sustaining an eye injury at the Rotterdam Open in January.Later in the day, World No. 1 Roger Federer will begin his Miami Open campaign against Thanasi Kokkinakis of Australia.
