Fourth seed and last year's quarterfinalist Andy Murray survived a real scare in the opening round at the 2010 French Open when he came back from two set deficit to beat local favourite Richard Gasquet.
Re-live the swashbuckling moments of Murray's superb comeback, click here.
Murray opened the match on a bad note and lost his serve early on to give Gasquet the opening set by 6 games to 4. The second set did witness a considerable rise in Murray's game but it turned out to be insufficient in front of Gasquet's ferocity which handed the Frenchman a two sets to love lead.
The third set saw a major shift in momentum when Murray broke Gasquet's serve twice to win it by 6 games to 4. The Scot's comeback trail continued in the fourth set as well when he broke Gasquet's serve repeatedly to level the match at two sets a piece.
The decider turned out to be a lopsided affair when Murray completed the victory at the expense of just one game and closed the marathon 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 match with a sigh of relief rather than a winning smile.

The way Fedex is going on in this tournament, I think he is going to be a winner. Nadal seems too rusted and Andy always freezes in front of Fed. Its good to see Federer returning to top form and to the top of the charts!!!
