Murray is now level with Tim Henman on 496 career wins
Afterwards, he said he was keen to break all Henman's
records 
the British No 1 next takes on Feliciano Lopez in the
quarter-finals 
The 27-year-old equalled Henman's 496 career wins, which
represents an Open era record for a British man, with a 6-3 6-3 victory over
France's Adrian Mannarino at Indian Wells in California.
On matching Henman's record, Murray joked on Sky Sports:
'That's one of the few records Tim still had over me. 
The victory in California saw Murray book a quarter-final
match-up with Spain's Feliciano Lopez, who edged past Japan's Kei Nishikori.
Referring to his win over 26-year-old Mannarino, the Scot
said: 'It was a very tough match, he's playing very well this year and he's got
a very tricky game.
'He's a lefty but he has a very flat backhand and a short
take-back on his forehand so it's hard to read.
'He moves well and he has good hands around the net - in
both sets though he played one or two loose games which helped me and I stayed
solid throughout.
