Konta wins as Djokovic sees off Edmund

Johanna Konta reached round three of the Miami Open but fellow Briton Kyle Edmund was beaten by Novak Djokovic.

Konta, the 24th seed, saw off Montenegro's Danka Kovinic 6-4 6-2 to set up a third-round meeting with Russian qualifier Elena Vesnina.

Edmund lost the first four games but fought back before world number one Djokovic prevailed 6-3 6-3.

"I felt like I did put my game out there and tried to play some aggressive tennis," said Edmund.

"At points it worked, it shows I can be aggressive, but at times I need to find the balance.
