Andy Murray reached another milestone in his tennis career on Tuesday night when he became the first Briton to record 500 career wins. In defeating Kevin Anderson 6-4 3-6 6-3 in the Miami Open on Tuesday night, Murray becomes the 46th man to reach the landmark since the open era began in 1968. Nine of that number are still playing and the fact the 27-year-old joins such exalted company is testimony to his consistency over the last decade.

Only Novak Djokovic, the world No 1, is younger than Murray in the prestigious '500 club'.
