Kerber advances to third round in Miami

Former No.1 Angelique Kerber has advanced to the third round of the Miami Open with a 6-2 6-2 win over Johanna Larsson of Sweden.

The 10th-seeded German saved all three break points she faced in the 64-minute match on Thursday.

She broke the 76th-ranked Larsson’s serve on four of eight opportunities.

Kerber is 19-4 this year and has reached at least the quarter-finals of all five tournaments she’s played.

The 2016 Australian Open and US Open champion won the Sydney International in January, her first tournament title since that US Open.

She also reached the Australian Open semi-finals.
