Miami Open: Cameron Norrie sunk by Gregoire Barrère as Coco Gauff crumbles

British No 1 Cameron Norrie has been dumped out of the Miami Open in a shock second-round loss to Frenchman Grégoire Barrère.

Miami has been a successful venue for Norrie in recent years, the 27-year-old having won the biggest title of his career there in 2021 and reached the quarter-finals last year. However, Norrie was simply outclassed by Barrère on Saturday, the world No 65 wrapping up a 6-3, 6-2 victory in an hour and 10 minutes.

After the pair traded holds early, Barrère was able to strike first blood by breaking Norrie’s serve in the eighth game. From there Norrie could only mount mild resistance as Barrère cruised home in the second set to book his place in the third round.

He will face the American Christopher Eubanks after the world No 119 recorded the biggest win of his career so far, knocking out out 17th-seeded Borna Coric 3-6, 6-4, 6-2.

Meanwhile, British No 2 Dan Evans saw his losing streak extend to six matches after Italian Lorenzo Sonego came from behind to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in two and a half hours. Evans had started brightly, securing an early break in the first game and holding to lead 2-0 before closing out the first set.

But Sonego, the world No 59, rallied to break Evans in the fourth game of the second set before maintaining a vital hold in the next game to level the scores. The Italian broke twice in the deciding set as he opened up a 4-0 lead and never looked like allowing Evans back into the match.

Elsewhere, Jiri Lehecka continued his impressive form to reach the third round of an ATP Masters 1000 event for the first time. The 21-year-old Czech, a quarter-finalist at the Australian Open, beat 18th seed Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 6-4.

Second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was handed a walkover into round
