Kyle Edmund made a winning start to his Miami Open campaign
British No 1 Kyle Edmund dispatched Ilya Ivashka to ease into the third round of the Miami Open for the very first time in his career on Friday.
Edmund, who received a bye to the second round, cruised past Belarus’ Ivashka to win 6-3 6-2 in 71 minutes on Court One at the Hard Rock Stadium complex.

Edmund failed to reach the round of 32 on his five previous attempts at the Masters 1000 event, but he ended that hoodoo with a clinical performance against world No 110 Ivashka under sunny skies.
The 24-year-old will next meet big-hitter Milos Raonic after the Canadian was handed a walkover when his opponent Max Marterer of Germany retired injured before the clash.
