Djokovic-Murray Kept Hanging for Final Date With Wawrinka

PARIS — Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray's French Open final hopes were on a knife edge on Friday after a thunderstorm left the pair facing an uneasy night wondering who will face Swiss Stan Wawrinka in Sunday's showpiece contest.

A battle between the Serbian and British heavyweights had promised much, got off to bit of a false start but was then building towards a rousing finale when an approaching storm brought a halt to proceedings at Roland Garros.

The duo were sent scuttling back into the locker room with world number one Djokovic leading 6-3 6-3 5-7 3-3.
