Following a defeat to an Argentine player during the Australian Open earlier this year, Murray, who is 36 years of age, impressed with an exceptional display of skill to get even with the 29th seed.

Murray, who has won the Miami Open twice before, was able to save all seven attempts made by his opponent to break his serve. This victory marks his first win against a player in the top 50 since the Toronto tournament he played in last August. It is also the first time he has won back-to-back matches in the same tournament since that same Toronto tournament.

Murray restarted his second round match with a 3-3 score in the initial set during a rainy Friday that disturbed the timetable in Florida.

The player who used to be ranked as the best in the world won the first set tie-break easily without losing a single game to his opponent. He then went on to break his opponent's serve, taking a 4-2 lead in the next set.

Murray managed to fend off three break points at 5-3 by playing some remarkable tennis. He then secured his most significant victory of the year by converting his very first match point.

Draper was devastated when he lost two chances to win the match after being ahead at 5-4 with a 40-15 lead in the third set.

Jannik Sinner had to wait until the next day to secure his first victory.

The player ranked second proved that the delay was worth it as he easily defeated Andrea Vavassori 6-3 6-4. The match against his fellow countryman took 80 minutes to complete and allowed him to advance to the third round.

With a current score of 14-3 in Miami, the well-known finalist Sinner is set to play against Tallon Griekspoor.
