Also on Saturday, Andy Murray and Denis Shapovalov both downed seeded opponents to book their spots in the third round.

The former World No. 1 and two-time Miami champion Murray battled past 29th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry 7-6(0), 6-3 to advance to face Tomas Machac. The 36-year-old Scot saved all seven break points he faced to notch his first Top 50 win since Toronto last August. It is also the first time he has posted consecutive wins at an event since the same tournament.

With his win, Murray avenged his defeat to Etcheverry at January’s Australian Open and levelled his Lexus ATP Head2Head series with the Argentine at 2-2.

Murray: 'Watching Alcaraz play tennis makes me smile'

Spoiler:

Shortly after Carlos Alcaraz won his opening match at the Miami Open presented by Itau Saturday, another player took to social media.

Andy Murray wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Watching Alcaraz play tennis makes me smile ”


Murray has reached the highest peak in the sport, climbing to No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings. He won 46 tour-level titles, including the 2016 Nitto ATP Finals crown and three major trophies. It speaks volumes that Alcaraz has earned such respect from the 36-year-old.

“It’s great. As I’ve said many times, I play for myself, I play for my team. But also I enjoy if the people enjoy watching my matches, my games. For me, it's pretty cool,” Alcaraz said. “ I think for me it's even better if a legend like Andy say something like this, that he enjoys a lot watching my matches. It's crazy for me, honestly.

“I think he has seen a lot of tennis during his career, a lot of matches, a lot of players. [To] see these words from him for me is great. It's something I try to do in every match.”

Murray’s love of Alcaraz’s game is not new. The Scot thought the Spaniard had big potential from early on.

In 2021, Murray predicted that Alcaraz could one day reach World No. 1. That proved prophetic.

“Of the current ones, Medvedev would be the guy I would expect to get there first. I think maybe he will need to be a little bit more consistent on the clay to get there, but I think he’s got a good chance,” Murray said at the time. “From the young, young ones, I think [Carlos] Alcaraz is really, really good. I think he’s got a good chance at it.”

Both Murray and Alcaraz are still alive in the Miami draw. They cannot meet until the final.

Murray's courageous Miami comeback ends in heartbreak against Machac

Spoiler:

What appeared destined to become an Andy Murray moment of magic turned into heartbreak Sunday at the Miami Open presented by Itau.

The former No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings rallied from 2-5 down in the final set against Tomas Machac and saved a match point at 5-6 before forcing a tie-break against the Czech. Murray led by a late mini break before Machac earned a 5-7, 7-5, 7-6(5) victory.

“It's always a pleasure to share the court with such a great legend. So first of all, I'm happy that I can play this long match against him. But on the opposite, I don't want to play so long!” Machac said in his on-court interview. “But at the end, there was everything... I pushed myself from the bottom to manage to win today.”


The 23-year-old triumphed after three hours and 28 minutes, marking the third-longest best-of-three Miami men’s singles match on record. Machac saved 13 of the 15 break points according to Infosys ATP Stats.

It was a memorable third set. Murray clawed his way back onto serve. In the middle of sealing the 4-5 game to level at 5-5, he rolled his left ankle and writhed in pain on the court, requiring immediate attention from an ATP physiotherapist.

Murray returned to the court to continue the match and at 5-6 saved match point by stepping into the court. He then led 5/3 in the tie-break before Machac won the final four points, making great use of his backhand down the line.

“Today for sure, it was the toughest match of my career,” Machac said. “Really, I can say there was everything [in the third set].”

Machac will next play Italian Matteo Arnaldi, who ousted Denis Shapovalov 6-3, 7-6(7) earlier in the day.

Murray, a two-time Miami champion, will be left to rue his missed opportunity to complete a memorable comeback. After the match, the 36-year-old took a long moment to thank the crowd before signing autographs as he departed.
