Carlos Alcaraz is in Miami looking to bounce back from his shock loss to Daniil Medvedev in Indian Wells.

However, Medvedev quickly stopped Alcaraz in his tracks, defeating the Spaniard 6-3, 7-6 in the Californian desert.

In the final, Murray faced third seed and two-time Grand Slam champion Lleyton Hewitt.
Despite falling behind early, Murray roared back to claim a 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 victory.
After winning the final, Murray said: “This week has been perfect for me. I played pretty solidly in all my matches, apart from a set-and-a-half against Robin Soderling.
“But I managed to come through that and this has been the best week of my life – it can’t get much better.”
