British Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has won the epic 'two-day' five-set match against Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber to advance to the fourth round of the French Open on Sunday.
The third-round match resumed at 7-7 in the final set after bad light had halted play on Saturday and took 4 hr 7 mins to complete.
According to the BBC, the Scot held his nerve to win 12-10 in a fifth set shoot-out on Court Suzanne Lenglen, defeating Kohlschreiber win 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 12-10 and he will next meet Spaniard Fernando Verdasco for a place in the quarter-finals after the 24th seed earlier completed a 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 win over Richard Gasquet.
Murray and Kohlschreiber had to wait until Sunday's opening match on Lenglen between Tomas Berdych and John Isner had finished before returning to action.
Murray, seeded seventh, could take confidence from seven wins in his last eight five-set matches, and had experienced a similar situation on the same court three years ago when he beat Serbia's Viktor Troicki in a fifth set, the report added.
