Andy Murray was rewarded for his perseverance in a brutal first-round match at the Miami Open as he recovered from a set down to outlast Matteo Berrettini 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. The victory was only Murray’s fourth of the year and it sets up a second-round encounter with Tomás Martín Etcheverry.
As Berrettini was preparing to serve in the second set, he lost his balance, staggering to his right and nearly falling down before complaining of dizziness. He was quickly seen by the doctor and physio but despite being OK to resume he failed to recapture his earlier level of play.

low sugar n out for long
first cazaux now berrettini
definitely scary watching this happen live…kudos to Berrettini for finishing the match, but he needs to take better care of himself
No tiene nada,cuando va perdiendo,le aparecen los achaques,cuando gana es fenómeno,eso es desmerecer la victoria del contrincante,tipicamentementecontadina🤡!!!!
He is on way back on the match
Vaccine COVID ?!?🤔 Miocardite ?!? 🤔
Electrolyte balance is off… heat/ humidity? Hydration habits? Who knows what led up to this…his team I’m sure knows and will correct for future matches…
lucky murray, go to pension grnadad
It's know as, Miami Heat 🔥
Dude can't catch a break… Man…
2nd after Cazaux. Miami conditions are scary.
Get well soon Matteo

Those big bodies are tough
Safe and effective
Casi se derretini
Doesn't everyone realize that this is highly likely what the covid vaccines are causing? Coco Gauff didn't feel well at Indian wells last week.
I read that Cazeaux too…
And it is not over. Far from that!
Hope hes ok. That's a biiiig frame to move around the court.
Nice to see Murray still grinding ppl down!! I always loved his game…another one who would have more majors if not forn the big 3…
TOO much umidity % 😂😂😂😂😂 GET a booster again…😂
COVID vaccine doing wonders
Gee
He definitely suffers from climate change 😂
He is a seasoned player. He knows to drink and eat. This is something else. He needs to get medical care. Another player went down as well.
That's the only way Murray would win . Looking forward to Murray getting put out in the next round
"I feel horrible, but at least I don't look it."
I vaccini non c'entrano, è il caldo, il freddo, la pizza.
Berrettini is seems finished like Thiem…
The mRNA vaccine.
Nobody ask about the jabs..
💉💉💉???
Bravo
Did Andy clutch his hamstrings this match? Or only when he’s losing.
He better go check his heart.
That jab takes, not saves lives
LOL!
A dramatic itai? Imagine that.
Murray has always been such a stubborn player to face, his stamina is amazing considering he has prosthetic head to his femur and pelvis. Much respect to Berrettini, those cold/hot flashes when your sick are no joke, he could've passed out at anytime.
I like that Andy Murray asked about his welfare.
I am glad Berrettini is ok
Brought to you by Pfizer
Murray celebrating after winning the second set was kinda classless. His opponent was fatigued and ill and you gotta do that? Come on, man.
Not another one….
why are so many health sportsmen and women collapsing in the same manner what is going on, iam totally blind to the facts
Say novax no mia carditis<3<3
Povero Berrettini. Ma quanto ne voleva la Satta?
