Miami Open: Andy Murray loses to Daniil Medvedev as Heather Watson also goes out

Britain's Andy Murray lost to Russian top seed Daniil Medvedev at the Miami Open, as Heather Watson also went out.

Medvedev, who must reach the semi-finals in Miami to reclaim the world number one ranking from Novak Djokovic, won 6-4 6-2.

Murray, 34, a two-time winner, has not won back-to-back matches since January.

Compatriot Watson was beaten in straight sets by Switzerland's Belinda Bencic in her third-round match, losing 6-4 6-1 in Florida.

Watson, who claimed her first win over a top-20 player since 2020 by defeating Ukrainian Elina Svitolina in the previous round, was contesting a third-round match in Miami for the first time in six years.
