Andy Murray eases into the final four of the Miami Open while Scotland struggle at the Men’s World Curling Championships. Here’s our review of the last 24 hours.
Andy Murray will face Tomas Berdych in the Miami Open semi-finals after beating Austrian Dominic Thiem.
The 27-year-old Scot lost the opening set to world number 36 Thiem, but rallied to secure a 3-6 6-4 6-1 quarter-final win.
He said told Sky Sports: "I was getting myself into break-point positions and it is a fine line between going for winners and trying to finish the point and making your opponent play.
"Being a good match player is understanding when to go for your shots and when to back off a little bit."
Scotland’s run of three straight wins at the Men’s World Curling Championships came to an abrupt end as they lost 7-1 to hosts Canada in Halifax.
The result means Scotland cannot make the tie-breakers and skip Ewan MacDonald said: “We had a big struggle with the stones and couldn’t get a grip at all.
“I’m really disappointed that we didn’t give them a better game of it. Now we’ve just to get our heads together.
“We’ve got a tough game tomorrow against Niklas (Sweden) , so we’ve just got to re-group and come out stronger and try to finish on two wins and a positive note.”
