BBC Online :
British number one Cameron Norrie booked his place in the last 16 of the Miami Open with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Hugo Gaston.
Norrie broke his French opponent once on his way to taking the first set but had to battle in the second.
Gaston saved five match points as he held serve and then broke Norrie when on the brink of defeat.
But Norrie, 26, broke back instantly, to win in the 12th game of the second set with his eighth match point.
The Briton, who will make his maiden appearance in the fourth round of the tournament, is on course to break into the top 10 for the first time next week.
He will next face world number eight Casper Ruud, who has beaten Norrie in both their previous meetings.
Norway’s Ruud beat Alexander Bublik 6-3, 6-2 in less than an hour.
