Andy Murray is on the comeback charge but will have to go the distance to avoid a first round French Open exit against Radek Stepanek.

The second seed was in real trouble after losing the opening two sets 6-3 to the 37-year-old veteran.

However the Scot fought back to take the third set 6-0 before poor light stopped play in Paris with the score at 4-2 in the Scot's favour in the fourth.

The match on the famous Philippe Chatrier Court will resume on Tuesday.

Wet weather has affected the start to the year's second Grand Slam with reigning champion Stan Wawrinka surviving a scare in a five-set encounter with Lukas Rosol.
