French Open, Day 6: Andy Murray Dispatches Baghdatis, Advances To Fourth Round

Andy Murray is in uncharted waters at Roland Garros: the fourth round. The No. 4 seeded Murray beat back No. 25 Marcos Baghdatis in four sets, 6-2, 6-3, 0-6, 6-2, to advance past the third round for the first time in his French Open career.

After racing out to a two-sets-to-none lead on the Cypriot Baghdatis, Murray fell apart in the third set, seemingly packing it in after falling behind two breaks, and then was promptly broken at the beginning of the fourth set as well. But Murray immediately broke back, eventually running away with the fourth set -- and the match. Murray will meet No. 15 Tomas Berdych in the fourth round, who routed No. 17 John Isner in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, 6-1.

In other action, No. 3 Novak Djokovic moved on the third round after smashing Kei Nishikori in three sets, while No. 20 Stanislaw Wawrinka set up an all-Swiss fourth round matchup with his compatriot and noted tennis enthusiast Roger Federer, and No. 14 Ivan Ljubicic fought off American Mardy Fish to reach the third round in a marathon, back-and-forth five setter, 6-2, 6-7, 4-6, 6-2, 10-8.
