Pedro Martínez could not continue in the Miami Masters 1,000. The Spaniard faced Australian Adam Walton, who scored points in the second and third sets. The Valencian, number 88 in the world, could not beat the 134th in the ranking. The first set was won by Martínez 6 – 3, the second was clear for the Australian with 2 – 6, while in the last set the duel intensified.
Walton took the first four games, until the Spaniard ‘woke up’ and took the next three. But he stayed there, because his rival managed to take the two she needed to win the last set. He thus says goodbye in the second round of qualifying for the second Masters 1,000 of the year. Those who continue, until the day ends on Tuesday, towards the first round of the tournament along with Adam Walton are the Brazilian Thiago Seyboth, the Czech Vit Kopriva and Coleman Wong.
Roberto Bautista, 100th in the world, will face Otto Virtanen this Tuesday (8:00 p.m., approximately), and it will be one of the matches that close the day. The women are already in the first round, so this Tuesday they play for a place in the second round, which begins this Thursday, March 21. Cristina Bucsa, number 50 in the ranking, will seek that classification in the match (20:20, approximately) against the 68th Yulia Putinstseva. Paula Badosa will also do so at approximately 9:00 p.m. against the Romanian Simona Halep, who has not competed for a year and a half due to having been sanctioned for doping.
