Carlos Alcaraz swatted aside Serbian Dusan Lajovic 6-0 7-6(5)to keep his title defense on track at the Miami Open on Sunday, as Canadian Bianca Andreescu cruised past American Sofia Kenin in straight sets.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz stormed into the last 16 of the Miami Open with a dominant 6-0 7-6 (5) win over Dusan Lajovic that underlined the top seed’s status as the man to beat in Florida. Alcaraz made short work of the Serbian with a first-set bagel, demonstrating his box of tricks with a selection of fizzing forehands, whipped winners and delicate drop shots. Ad He needed a tie-break to get over the line in the second after a surprising late rally from the Serbian, but finished the 91-minute match with 27 winners to his name.
Daniil Medvedev bounced back from his Indian Wells final defeat to Carlos Alcaraz with a dominant 6-1 6-2 victory over Roberto Carballes Baena to advance in the Miami Open.

Ad Medvedev converted both break points as he wrapped up a one-sided opening set in 32 minutes, hitting nine winners along the way, and although he was spared the humiliation of a bagel, Carballes Baena was outclassed throughout.
Dan Evans exited the Miami Open in the second round following a 6-4 3-6 2-6 defeat to Lorenzo Sonego. The Briton had not recorded a victory since the Australian Open second round win over Jeremy Chardin, but he was on course to bounce back after a stylish opening set.

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has submitted a new bid to buy Manchester United which is believed to be worth around 5 billion pounds ($6.12 billion), Sky News reported on Saturday. Sheikh Jassim, a son of Qatar’s former prime minister, launched the bid in February. A spokesperson representing Sheikh Jassim said at the time that the bid was completely debt free, via Sheikh Jassim’s Nine Two Foundation. Finnish entrepreneur Thomas Zilliacus also placed a bid on Thursday and told Reuters that he was willing to pay a premium for the English soccer club. United’s current owners, the Glazer family, began looking at options for the record 20-times English champions in November, including new investment or a potential sale, 17 years after they bought the Old Trafford club. Manchester United did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
