17:01 It’s finally time for the match. After the upheaval of the program due to the forfeit of the veteran Gasquet, Musetti-Lehecka is about to begin.
16:27 Here we are again friends of OA Sport. Musetti-Lehecka will be played at 17.00 on Central Court due to the withdrawal of Richard Gasquet. He advances to the third round without playing the Greek Tsitsipas, and therefore the match of the young blue passes on the main field at 17.00. See you later!
16:04 Program that delays the main fields by half an hour, for unspecified reasons. It will therefore start at 16.30. See you later!
4:00 pm Sunny Saturday in Miami. Everything is ready for tennis players to enter the field on all committed courts.

15:44 Good afternoon and welcome back to LIVE LIVE written by Musetti-Lehecka. We are approaching the start of the match.
Good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE text of the match that will see Lorenzo Musetti opposite the Czech Jiri Leheckasecond round match of the Masters 1000 in Miami 2023. Second direct confrontation between the two, with the tennis player from Mlada Boleslav prevailing in three sets on indoor hard courts in Rotterdam in 2022.
Musetti, a twenty-one year old from Carrara, must re-emerge from a seemingly endless crisis. Excluding the United Cup, the young Tuscan in 2023 won only one match, the one against the Argentine Cachin on red in Buenos Aires. The blue, fresh from four consecutive defeats, needs to reverse course, but today his opponent is anything but soft.
Lehecka, twenty-two year old number 44 ATP, has carved out an important place for himself in the international tennis scene in recent months. Finalist of the ATP Next Gen Finals 2022, defeated only by Nakashima, the Czech has already played a match in this Masters 1000 in Miami, easily eliminating the Argentine Coria in two sets. Lehecka also reached the quarterfinals at the recent Australian Open, and makes serve and forehand his main weapons.
The match between Musetti and Lehecka will start at 16.00 on Court 1. It will be possible to follow the event live on Sky Sport, and in streaming on Sky GO, and Tennis TV. OA Sport will offer you LIVE LIVE written point by point of the match. Have fun and good tennis everyone!
