Chardy Turns Up Heat on Murray, Ahead of Last 16 Clash

PARIS — If Frenchman Jeremy Chardy needed any extra motivation when he takes on Britain's Andy Murray in the last 16 of the French Open he will only have to cast his mind back a few weeks to Rome.

Chardy was drawn to play the in-form Murray in the second round at the Masters 1000 event and lost 6-4 6-3, but was angered when Murray pulled out in the next round, claiming tiredness after a long winning run on the surface.

Add in the fact that Murray is coached by Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo and their are plenty of ingredients that have spiced up the eighth meeting between the two players.
