The 2021 Wimbledon finalist was set to make a return at the Australian Open but could not. However, Berrettini was back at the Miami Open and put in a match against Andy Murray, who needed some wins. 

Both players fought for every point on a roller-coaster of a match. While Berrettini took the first set, he could not keep up the lead and eventually lost to the Brit. The Italian could not survive the heat and lost his energy in the match. With this, Murray secured a first-round win and set up a second-round clash against Tomas Etcheverry.
