Murrays lookingfor anupturn inFrance
Andy Murray will be hoping for a reversal in fortunes when the second Grand Slam of the season — the French Open — officially begins this weekend at Roland Garros in Paris.
The World No 1 has had a 2017 to forget so far, currently sporting a 16-7 win-loss record when he only lost two more in the whole of last year.
Since the start of 2017, the Dunblane ace has only beaten one top-10 player — Tomas Berdych, when Murray defeated him in the Qatar Exxon Mobil Open semi-final back in January.
He heads into the French Open with a near 3000-point lead at the top of the world rankings over Novak Djokovic, who defeated Murray in the final 12 months ago.
Brother Jamie has also had a disappointing year so far, with a record of 18-10 alongside Brazilian partner Bruno Soares.
Jamie — a former No 1 — has dropped to No 8 in the world rankings with the duo at No 6 in the doubles.
After a week of qualifiers, the French Open big guns started their tournaments from Sunday.
