Andy Murray Brings up 500th Tour win Against Kevin Anderson in Miami
The British No 1 was dragged into a deciding set by Anderson before
he eventually sealed a 6-4 3-6 6-3 triumph, becoming only the 46th man
in the Open era to reach the 500 mark.
Standing inside the baseline, Murray took on his opponent’s booming serve from the opening game, and seized an early break through Anderson’s over-hit forehand.
But the Scot’s own serve was severely tested at 4-3 up, with Murray scampering in the heat to fend off break points, before holding with a forehand volley.
After serving out the first set, Murray’s focus appeared to waver following a harsh time violation and a double fault led to more break points, with Anderson snatching the second to move 2-0 ahead.
Murray’s mood was matching the boiling conditions and he tossed away another break, but immediately hauled one back with a couple of searing returns.
