Miami Open: Andy Murray beats Tomas Martin Etcheverry to reach third round

Andy Murray gained a measure of revenge against Tomas Martin Etcheverry by beating the Argentine in the second round of the Miami Open.

Etcheverry had beaten the Briton in the first round of the Australian Open earlier this year, but Murray won 7-6 (7-0) 6-3 this time around.

The match resumed at 3-3 after being called off because of rain on Friday.

Murray convincingly won a first set tie-break before one break in the second was enough to secure victory.

The 36-year-old produced a delightful backhand cross-court lob on the way to breaking Etcheverry in the sixth game of the second set.
