Andy Murray battles back before suspension

Andy Murray found himself 6-3 6-3 0-6 2-4 behind against Radek Stepanek when bad light stopped play at the French Open.

Andy Murray was on the comeback trail before his French Open first-round clash against Radek Stepanek was suspended because of bad light this evening.

World number two Murray looked as though he was going to be on the receiving end of a shock as his 37-year-old opponent took the first two sets.

However, the Scot responded positively and found himself 6-3 6-3 0-6 2-4 behind at the close of play.

The two players are due back on court at 11.30am tomorrow, with Murray looking to avoid defeat in the opening round of a Grand Slam for the first time since the 2008 Australian Open.

In total, the 29-year-old has recovered to win from two-set deficits on eight occasions.
