This is not the first time both will be playing against each other, they have had some epic contest in past but a place in the final standing will make this encounter more competitive.
Murray goes in as the favourite and rightly so given his form, ranking and overall ability. He's a couple of years younger than his opponent too and who knows - fitness could be key in the decisive moments.
Looking at the head to head record, it's 11 meetings in total since 2005 and Berdych actually leads 6-5. This is Murray's chance to level things up though and with some positive momentum behind him - he'll be in confident mood.
It's a different trend we're looking at for today's best bet though. Across the 11 meetings, only four have been one in straight sets. So more often than not, these two exchange blows across at least three sets.
A total of three sets - the maximum there can be in Miami - is 6/4 with Ladbrokes and that's a cracking price. Given the form of both players and the fact it's a semi-final - we just can't see either of them folding to a 2-0 defeat.
