Andy Murray scores impressive win over Tomas Martin Etcheverry at Miami Open

Andy Murray picked up his best win of the year so far with a straight-sets victory over Tomas Martin Etcheverry at the Miami Open.

Murray swept past the Argentinian, ranked 30 in the world, 7-6 (0) 6-3 in a rain-interrupted match to reach the third round.

The 36-year-old Scot gained a measure of revenge for his defeat by the same player in the first round of the Australian Open in January.

Compatriot Dan Evans was also bundled out in a gruelling 7-6 (3) 3-6 7-6 (7) loss to American Christopher Eubanks.
