The 500 Elite

Legg Mason

Andy Roddick beat back Sam Querrey in straight sets for his 500th career victory. Seems like just yesterday he reached 400.

“It’s a pretty small number of players who have gotten there, an elite group,” said Roddick. “I’ve done it with enough time [in my career] to add to it. It is validation of consistency in my career.”

Andy is the 15th player in the Open Era to achieve the feat and the fourth among active players. Roger Federer, Carlos Moya and Lleyton Hewitt have also passed that elite threshold.
