Ferrer winning at Sony Open

Spain’s David Ferrer has won his place in the fourth round of the Miami Masters.

The Spanish player won with a straight sets victory over Italian Andreas Seppi at the Sony Open in Key Biscayne, Florida.

The Italian failed to put up much of a fight and the Spaniard was in control from the outset, clinching a first set by hitting an ace.

Ferrer, No. 4 seed, defeated Seppi 6-3 6-2 in one hour and ten minutes.

Ferrer, 31, missed out at the Masters 1000 tournament in Indian Wells, California, due to injuries sustained at the Acapulco event.

The Spaniard’s next opponent will be Japan’s Kei Nishikori.
