Hello world! And welcome to Court Suzanne-Lenglen for Andy Murray’s quarter-final clash with David Ferrer. Tennis’ two titans may be slugging it out over on Philippe Chatrier but this one will be no snoozefest. It’s third seed versus seventh seed, Britain versus Spain, mano y mano, racketo y racketo … let’s get it on.
Firstly though, a little context. Murray’s best showing at the French Open – statistically his weakest Grand Slam – is the last four, achieved both in 2014 and 2011 but he will have to go some to beat Ferrer today.
