British Tennis Stars Falter at Miami Open

0:00British tennis hopes faded at the Miami Open as Cameron Norrie, Katie Bolter and Fran Jones all exited in the third round. The 30-year-old Norrie, now Britain's top-ranked man, fell to 21-year-old American Alex Mikkelsen in a three-set battle. Bolter, Britain's number three, lost in straight sets to 13-seed, Carolina Machova. Norrie fought back hard after dropping the first set, winning a tie break in the second, but Mikkelsen broke early in the decider to advance on home. Soil, Bolter reached this stage at a WTA-1000 event for the first time in over a year before Muchova pulled away. Fran Jones, Britain's number four, retired during her match against Jessica Pegula due to illness. She had upset Venus Williams earlier, despite feeling unwell, but couldn't continue down three games in the second set. Jones admitted she needed to be at full strength against top players like Pegula. In other women's action, Coco Gough rallied from a set down to beat Alicia Parks, while former World Number One, Naomi Osaka exited early and opened up.
