FEDERER EQUALS SAMPRAS RECORD

Roger Federer equalled the record set by Pete Sampras for the most number of career single victories. Federer drew level with the seven-time Wimbledon champion on 762 wins by beating Czech Radek Stepanek 6-3 6-3 in the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami.

Only six men have won more matches than Federer and Sampras with American Jimmy Connors leading the way on 1,242.

Meanwhile, Andy Murray’s poor form continued as he and Novak Djokovic were beaten in the doubles in Miami.

The pair went down 5-7 6-3 10-8 to Sergiy Stakhovsky and Mikhail Youzhny in their last-32 clash.
