Andy Murray was forced to dig deep yet again as he battled through over five sets against Mathias Bourgue at the French Open.

The Scot had already come through a surprisingly arduous test against Radek Stepanek in the first round and found wild card entrant Bourgue to be an equally difficult opponent.

Murray said: "He was excellent. He was the one dictating a lot of the points, making me run a lot and fighting right to the end. He's going to have a fantastic future for sure.

"I was thinking, 'What happened?' I had 6-2 2-0 and then he started playing unbelievable and I was finding it hard to win points, not games.

"I've played these matches many times and I just tried to fight through to the end. It's been a tough few days and I'm going to have to recover extremely well if I am to go far in this tournament. You can't play too many matches like this."
