Britain's top tennis stars suffered a bad day at the Miami Open as Andy Murray, Kyle Edmund and Emma Raducanu all crashed out of the Florida tournament at the first hurdle.
Three-time Grand Slam winner Murray suffered a crushing first-round exit with a straight-sets defeat to Dusan Lajovic, while former British number one Edmund also lost in straight sets to Yibing Wu. Raducanu, looking to build on her run to the fourth round of last week’s BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, was beaten in three sets by Bianca Andreescu.
Murray, a two-time winner in Miami, made a series of unforced errors as Serb Lajovic, ranked 76th in the world, secured a 6-4 7-5 win in one hour and 36 minutes. The 35-year-old Scot, who last week lost to fellow Brit Jack Draper in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, had break points in the fourth and sixth games of the opening set but was unable to force home his advantage.
