Andy Murray Advances Barely

Brit, Andy Murray beat No. 15 Victor Troicki 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 on Tuesday and reach the French Open quarterfinals by winning a match that stretched over two days.

Murray trailed 5-2 in the decisive fifth set, but he broke back when Troicki was serving for the match, winning the final five games.

Troicki broke in the sixth game of the fifth set, but only after a ball boy ran onto the court during the first point and forced a replay even though Troicki smashed an overhead winner.

The match started Monday, and Troicki dominated the first two sets. But Murray responded, pulling himself back into the match before play was halted by darkness.
