MIAMI – Andy Murray earned back-to-back victories for the first time this season after beating Tomas Etcheverry 7-6 (7-0), 6-3 to advance to the third round of the Miami Open on March 23.

The 36-year-old Briton, who has said he will probably retire later in 2024, celebrated with some passion after clinching the win, his first against a top-50 opponent since Toronto in August.
