Murray dropped the opening set, but came back to clearly win the next two and a tiebreak in the fourth, 6-7(3), 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(3). Murray is keeping pace with the other top seeds like Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who are considered favorites over him at Roland Garros.
Stan Wawrinka, the third seed, is also doing quite well. He’s looked in top form through two matches thus far, and beat Alexandr Dolgopolov in the second round on Thursday, 6-4, 7-6(5), 7-5.
Also in top-10 action was Marin Cilic, the seventh seed, who bested Konstantin Kravchuk in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Kei Nishikori was the only other top-10 seed in action for the men, and he took down Jeremy Chardy in straight sets.
Tomas Berdych, a former top-10 seed himself and the No. 13 seed, found himself on the losing end of a match against Karen Khachanov, falling in straight sets himself.
On the women’s side, No. 9 seed Agnieszka Radwanska needed three sets to beat Alison Van Uytvanck, but ultimately came out on top, 6-7(3), 6-2, 6-3.
