British hopes at the Miami Open ended abruptly on Saturday as three players - Cameron Norrie, Katie Boulter, and Fran Jones - exited the tournament. Norrie, the British No 1 and 23rd seed, lost to American Alex Michelsen in a hard-fought second-round match, 7-5 6-7(4-7) 6-4. Boulter, the 13th seed, was beaten in straight sets, 6-3 7-5, by Karolina Muchova in the third round. Jones withdrew from her second-round match against Jessica Pegula due to illness, having earlier defeated Venus Williams. These exits extinguished all British representation in Florida. Norrie's loss followed a dramatic comeback attempt after trailing 3-0 in the second set, while Boulter's defeat ended her run after a first-round bye.

Jones' withdrawal came despite battling through her opening win against Williams, her childhood idol.
