Match recap

Mirra Andreeva defeated McCartney Kessler 6-1, 6-7, 6-1 in the R64 of the Miami Open 2026.

Andreeva bookended a wobble with two bagel-adjacent sets, taking the first and third 6-1 around a second-set tiebreak that slipped away. The separator was first-serve control: 76% of first-serve points won to Kessler's 56%, a 20-point gap that turned every Andreeva service game into a quick hold and left Kessler winning just 24% of first-return points. She broke five times across the two 6-1 sets and books a meeting with Marie Bouzkova.
