French Open 2015: Andy Murray v João Sousa – live!
Andy Murray takes on Joao Sousa today. Photograph: Jason Cairnduff/REUTERS It took Andy Murray and Joao Sousa almost as long to finish their first game as it took Svetlana Kuznetsova and Francesca Schiavone to finish their entire match. That went on for ever! My fingernails are now at least six feet long. Sousa was serving but Murray was on his back from the off. Sousa hung on for dear life and somehow managed to stay in there, saving several break points, but Murray was like a Sepp Blatter with a Fifa presidency, he wouldn’t let go, and eventually he converts a break point with a stunning backhand winner. He then consolidates the break easily to lead 2-0.
