Here are the major results from Day 3 of the 2022 Miami Open:

Andy Murray gets past Federico Delbonis

Andy Murray was up against Federico Delbonis in the first round. Both players held their serve during the first set and into the tie-break it went. Murray opened up a 5-4 lead before winning two successive points on the Argentinian's serve to take the set.

Murray cruised through the second set, winning it 6-1 to seal his place in the second round of the Masters 1000 event.

Osaka registers big win over Kerber

Osaka and Kerber, former Grand Slam champions and World No. 1s, clashed in the second round of the Miami Open.

The Japanese broke early in the first set to go 2-0 up and broke again to win it 6-2. Osaka continued to dominate in the second set and earned the decisive break in the fourth game to take a 3-1 lead.

She ended up winning the set 6-3 and sealed her place in the third round of the competition, where she will take on Karolina Muchova. The Czech has made an excellent comeback from injury and upset Leylah Fernandez 6-4, 7-6(3) in the second round.

Sabalenka's woes continue

Top seed Aryna Sabalenka suffered another early exit as she was beaten by Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu 6-4, 6-4. The Belarusian has been unable to find any form in the 2022 season so far and looked shaky during the match, serving eight double faults.

Sabalenka now has a 6-7 record this season and will have to improve a great deal if she wants to challenge for titles this year.

Ann Li stuns Kontaveit

Third seed Anett Kontaveit also suffered an early exit from the Miami Open as she was beaten by American Ann Li.

The Estonian had a bizarre start as she was bageled in the first set. However, she leveled the proceedings by taking the second set 6-3. Li looked to have squandered her chance of pulling off an upset after falling 2-0 behind in the deciding set. But the talented American fought her way back to win it 6-4 and book her place in the third round.
