Berdych Enjoys More Miami Success

Tomas Berdych saved all three break points on Saturday to move into the third round of the Miami Open presented by Itau. The 10^th seed advanced past #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev of Russia 6-3, 6-2 in 72 minutes.

Berdych struck eight aces in the routine win and will meet 24^th seed Gilles Muller in the third round. The left-handed Muller survived a tight second-round contest against Italian Andreas Seppi 7-6(3), 7-6(1). All nine break points faced in the match were saved.

Berdych, No. 14 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, is making his 12^th consecutive appearance in South Florida and has fared well throughout his career at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament. In 2010, the Czech right-hander reached the final before falling to American Andy Roddick. Berdych also reached the semi-finals in 2008, 2014 and 2015.
