MIAMI (AP) — Hobbled by cramps, top-ranked Daniil Medvedev limped through the final few games to edge Alexei Popyrin in three sets in the third round at the Miami Open. Medvedev failed to convert three match points in the second set after taking a 5-2 lead. An hour later the Russian was still playing, and on a hot afternoon, he paid the price. He broke in the final set for a 4-3 lead, but by then he could barely walk, much less run. To keep the rallies short, Medvedev began hitting high-risk shots, and made enough of them to close out the match.
