Overview

Playing his first game since parting ways with coach Ivan Lendl, Murray began his title defence in Miami with a victory in the second round against Matthew Ebden.

The British number one went down, 0-3, before the Australian managed to nick the first set, 6-3, in his favour. However, the world number six was keen to prevent elimination in the early stages and clinched the subsequent sets, 6-0, 6-1, to secure his progress into the third round after playing for 97 minutes.

Having secured a bye in the first round, 32<sup>nd seed Feliciano Lopez overcame Jiri Vesely ousting the Czech Republican, 6-2, 7-6 (3), in the second round.

Murray is undoubtedly the favourite to beat the Spaniard as he aims to lift the trophy in Miami for the third time in his career; achieving the feat for the first time defeating Novak Djokovic in 2009.

The pair's last meeting came in this year's Australian Open where the Brit triumphed in straight sets.
