    No lose situation really. I'll be cheering on Andy but won't be too down if Djokovic takes that step closer to 18 Slam Titles.

    This is what I love about the French Open - the service doesn't guarantee you points as it usually does on other surfaces.

    Clay is such a difficult and tactical surface to play on - must be murder.

    If Murray can get this set it will really put Djokovic on the back foot and pressured, given that this seems to be his bogey tournament.

    So much fickleness during a Murray match.

    Take a chill pill.

    Agreed. We all grew up with Wimbledon being the only major on cooncil telly so we all probably grew up with a slight preference for watching grass court tennis. I have found the more tennis I watch the more I prefer clay court tennis though, the better all round players rise to the top on clay.
