In the French Open Tennis competitions the World No. 2 Andy Murray has completed his comeback from 2-sets down to beat Czech Veteran Radek Stepanek 3-sets-to-2 to reach the 2nd round in Paris.

The match was suspended in the 4th set on Monday due to Darkness. Murray had dropped the opening 2 sets BOTH at 6-3, before winning the 3rd set 6-love and taking a 4-2 lead in the 4th.

On Tuesday, the British No.1 continued his fight-back and closed-out the set 6-3 to tie the match at 2 sets apiece and Force a Decider.

The Brit came close to losing the opening-round-showdown to his 37-year old opponent, as he was trailing 5-4 in the 5th, but he held-on and broke Stepanek before serving-out the match.

Next up for Murray at Roland Garros is a 2nd-round encounter with French wildcard Mathias Bourge.
