Highlights of Liam Broady's first round match against Bjorn Fratangelo from the Miami Open

Liam Broady won his first Masters match to move into the second round with a straight-sets win over Bjorn Fratangelo at the Miami Open.

Broady broke the American early in the first set to go 3-1 up but Frantangelo soon got back on level terms to take the set to a tie-break with Broady coming through 7-5.

And Broady broke Frantangelo three more times on his way to wrapping up a 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 win.

There was disappointment for British No 3 Cameron Norrie, who had moved into the first round after beating American Patrick Kypson in qualifying, when he was defeated 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 by Chile's Nicolas Jarry.

Norrie traded service games with the world No 65 but came unstuck in the tie-break before being broken twice in the second set to go down in one hour and 22 minutes.
