Opelka Wins Tiebreak Battle
Reilly Opelka defeated Jack Draper 7-6, 7-6 to reach the third round in Miami. He fired 25 aces and saved the only break point he faced in a dominant serving display.
The American will be relieved with this run after four straight second-round exits earlier this season. It is his first instance of multiple wins in a tournament since Basel last year.
Opelka has played two third-round matches in Miami before, losing both, to Daniil Medvedev in 2019 and Tomas Machac last year.

Fritz Moves Into Third Round
Taylor Fritz defeated Botic van de Zandschulp 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 to reach the third round in Miami. He saved both break points he faced and converted two of his seven chances.
The American has had a solid start to the season with a fourth-round run at the Australian Open and a final in Dallas. However, he suffered early exits in Delray Beach and Indian Wells.
Fritz holds a perfect 4-0 record in Miami third-round matches, including a semifinal run last year. He will look to build on this and regain confidence to maintain his top-10 ranking.
