Rusedski to focus on grass

Greg Rusedski was not ruling out one last return to the clay courts he hates, but after being blown out of the French Open in the first round by a combination of a squally gale and a clay specialist in Chile’s Paul Capdeville, Rusedski had just one thing on his mind: the green, grass of home.

Rusedski’s short current reign as British number one will almost certainly end if Andy Murray beats French teenager Gael Monfils on the showpiece Philippe Chatrier court today.
