Murray reached the finals at the French Open this year, proving stiff competition for Novak Djokovic

After the Rome Masters victory boosted his confidence on clay, Murray impressed his fans by promptly reaching the summit clash at Roland Garros. It was something that no British man had achieved since Bunny Austin in 1937, a massive 79 years ago. For someone who learnt the tricks of the trade on grass, to perform admirably on clay was tough but Murray proved that he has got what it takes to elevate his game when mattered.

He beat home favourite Richard Gasquet and Stanislas Wawrinka who was the defending champion en route to the final where his nemesis Novak Djokovic awaited him.

Though he would lose the final to the Serb despite winning the opening set, getting to that stage in itself was an achievement for Murray. Hopefully, it won’t be too long before he wins in Paris.
