Italy's Andreas Seppi has moved into round three of the Miami Open courtesy of a 7-5 5-7 7-5 victory over Aljaz Bedene this afternoon.

World number 20 Seppi required just one break of serve to take the opening set 7-5, only to see his lead eradicated in the next set when Slovenia's Bedene forced a decider with the same scoreline.

Having broken Bedene early, Seppi looked as though he was going to ease to the win, but his opponent restored parity with a break of his own.

However, while leading 6-5, Seppi claimed a decisive break to move into the next round where he will take on either Thomaz Bellucci or Jerzy Janowicz.
