Andy Murray explains why Miami Open showdown with Daniil Medvedev will be 'great' for him

Andy Murray is relishing the opportunity to face Daniil Medvedev at the Miami Open. The Briton set up the clash with a 7-6, 6-1 win over Frederico Delbonis in round one.

The 34-year-old is keen to have a good tournament after a disappointing second-round exit at Indian Wells. He faces a mammoth task in the form of the US Open champion, but the three-time major winner is excited to test himself against one of the world’s best.

"Yeah, I mean, I hope so," Murray said when asked if he had a chance of shocking the world No 2. "You know, obviously, you know, a tough match. He has played extremely well on the hard courts in the last few seasons. You know, he deserves to be right up there at the top of the game. So, yeah, a big challenge for me, a great test.
