Andy Murray booked his place in the fourth round of the Miami Open with a consummate 6-3 6-4 victory against Santiago Giraldo.

Murray, who suffered a surprise defeat to the Colombian, ranked 31st in the world, in straight sets at last year's Madrid Masters, gained revenge to move to within one win of a landmark 500 tour-level career victories.

Murray, who holds a 3-1 winning record against Anderson, expects a tough encounter when they clash for a quarter-final spot.

"He lives in Delray Beach just down the road so I practice with him sometimes in Miami," Murray told Sky Sports. "He's obviously used to the conditions and lives only 45 minutes away so it will be a tough match."

"He's obviously a big server and he's a big guy as well (at 6' 8") so it's always tough against him."
