Miami Masters: Jarry wins fiery clash against Seyboth Wild

Chilean Nicolas Jarry, the No 22 seed, moved into the last 16 of the Miami Masters by winning against Brazilian qualifier Thiago Seyboth Wild 6-7 (1), 7-5, 6-3 at the Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday night.

Played in front of a raucous crowd, you could have been mistaken for thinking it was a football match, so boisterous were the Chilean and Brazilian fans. From chants, to drama over towels, falls, twisted wrists, icy handshakes and a comeback from one set down, this clash had it all.

Bottom line, Jarry wins another crazy three-setter and advances to face Norwegian Casper Ruud, the No 7 seed, next.

In the previous round of the Miami Open, the Chilean edged out Jack Draper (7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (2)).

Seyboth Wild, ranked No 76, beat Portuguese Nuno Borges (6-4, 7-5) and American Taylor Fritz, the No 12 seed (6-3, 6-4) in the previous rounds of the Miami Open.
