Tennis: Andy Murray ‘proud’, despite losing in French Open

Andy Murray was proud of his French Open efforts after falling just short against Stan Wawrinka in a brutal semi-final battle.

Murray ended Wawrinka’s reign as champion in the semi-finals 12 months ago, but could not engineer a repeat, as the Swiss triumphed 6-7 (6/8) 6-3 5-7 7-6 (7/3) 6-1 after four hours and 34 minutes.

It was a rollercoaster of a match, with Murray second best for most of the first three sets, but somehow emerging two sets to one in front.
