Murray so ‘proud’ after completing great escape

ANDY MURRAY reflected on one of the most emotional victories of his career after defying an ankle injury and the best efforts of Viktor Troicki to book a place in the quarter-finals of the French Open.

The match had to be completed yesterday after the Scot had fought back from two sets and a break down on Monday evening to tie things up.

The one-set shoot-out on Court Suzanne Lenglen seemed to be going Troicki’s way when the Serb moved to 30-0 serving at 5-3 but a combination of nerves and some gutsy play from Murray helped Britain’s number one chalk up five games in a row to win 4-6 4-6 6-3 6-2 7-5.
