Murray is ousted from the French Open
ANDY Murray's French Open challenge came to a sudden halt this afternoon when he ran into one of the rising stars of clay court tennis at Roland Garros.
The British number one, who had looked to be conquering the red dust surface he dislikes most, slumped to a 6-3, 6-7 (3-7), 6-3, 7-5 defeat in the third round against Nicolas Almagro of Spain.
Murray made the worst possible start to the match, falling 3-6 to Almagro. Using a series of savage forehands Almagro served out to take the set when Murray netted a tame forehand.
