Andy Murray set a record for Open Era wins by a British man with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Feliciano Lopez to reach the Indian Wells ATP Masters semi-finals on Thursday.

Fourth seed Murray booked a showdown with defending champion Novak Djokovic, who won his match in a walkover when Bernard Tomic withdrew from their scheduled quarter-final in the WTA and ATP hardcourt tournament.

Murray now has 497 match wins, surpassing Tim Henman for the most in the Open Era by a British player.

The 27-year-old Scot continued his domination over the Spanish lefthander Lopez, having won all 10 career matches between the two.
