		</div><p>Serena Williams and Andy Murray were the big losers in the Miami Open as they were dumped out in the third and fourth round respectively on a day of upsets in Florida.</p>
<p>World number two Murray cut a disconsolate figure as he was beaten 6-7 (7/1) 6-4 6-3 by the impressive Grigor Dimitrov, who enjoyed a first win against a top-10 opponent in 13 matches.</p>
<p>Dimitrov dominated from the baseline against Murray, who contributed to his downfall with more than 50 unforced errors.</p>
<p>In the women&#8217;s event, world number one Williams sees her wait for a first title of the season go on as she surprisingly lost in three sets to 15th-seed Svetlana Kuznetsova.</p>
<p>Williams won the first set on a tie-break before going on to capitulate as the Russian stormed back to take the final two sets 6-1 6-3.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s obviously disappointing, but I&#8217;ve won here a lot, so it&#8217;s okay,&#8221; Williams said in her post-match press conference.</p>
<p>&#8220;I did the best that I could, so to the fans, I did the best that I could today, and I can&#8217;t win every match. These players come out, and they play me like they&#8217;ve never played before in their lives. So, you know, it&#8217;s the best that I could do today.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the men&#8217;s event Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was another victim of an upset as the ninth-seed was downed 2-6 6-3 7-6 (7/3) by Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut.</p>
<p>There were no such problems for sixth seed Kei Nishikori, who is now the second highest seed left in the competition, after he easily disposed of Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-2 6-2.</p>
<p>Milos Raonic had to battle hard to get past American Jack Sock, winning 7-6 (7/3) 6-4, while Gael Monfils set up a fourth-round meeting with Dimitrov after easing past Pablo Cuevas 6-3 6-4.</p>
<p>Nick Kyrgios made safe passage to the next round with a 6-4 6-4 win over Tim Smyczek, Andrey Kuznetsov came from behind to beat Adrian Mannarino 2-6 7-5 6-0 while Damir Dzumhur edged his clash with Mikhail Kukushkin 4-6 6-1 6-2.</p>
<p>Victoria Azarenka is on course for back-to-back WTA titles as the Indian Wells champion needed two tie-breaks to beat fourth-seed Garbine Muguruza 7-6 (8/6) 7-6 (7/4).</p>
<p>That set up a meeting with British number one Johanna Konta, who became the first Brit to reach the quarter-finals of the Miami Open with a 6-2 6-2 success over Monica Niculescu.</p>
<p>Heather Watson missed out on that accolade as she was beaten 6-3 6-4 by Simona Halep, while Timea Bacsinszky shocked third-seed Agnieska Radwanska, coming from behind to win 2-6 6-4 6-2.</p>
<p>Madison Keys was too good for Irina-Camelia Begu in a 6-3 6-1 victory, Ekaterina Makarova dispatched Elina Svitolina 6-1 6-4 and Angelique Kerber beat Timea Babos 6-2 3-6 6-2 in a game that finished well past midnight.</p>
