- Murray overcomes Italian 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in first round
- Jack Draper steams past Japan’s Taro Daniel 6-3, 6-2
In a season where wins have been extremely hard to come by, Andy Murray was rewarded for his perseverance in a brutal first-round match at the Miami Open as he recovered from a set down to outlast Matteo Berrettini 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
The victory was only Murray’s fourth of the year and it sets up a second-round encounter with Tomás Martín Etcheverry, the 29th seed, who consigned the Briton to a straight-sets defeat in the first round of the Australian Open.
