Corretja: Acasuso can worry Murray

Andy Murray received a warning from his Spanish coach Alex Corretja as he prepares to face Argentinian Jose Acasuso in the French Open second round.

Corretja predicted a much tougher test from Acasuso than the French wild card, Jonathan Eysseric, who took Murray to five sets in the first round on Sunday.

"Acasuso is a groundstroker, very hard and can serve well. He has a good serve, a good backhand, and he is solid from the baseline," Corretja said. "I wouldn't pick Acasuso to play in the second round if they let me pick. Unfortunately that's the way it is and hopefully Andy will be ready for him."

The two-day break because of relentless rain on Tuesday will have given Murray the chance to recover fully from the throat infection which forced him to take a course of antibiotics last week.

But whatever the outcome of his battle with Acasuso, Murray has impressed Corretja enough to make the former two-times French Open finalist want to be involved again with him during the clay season next year.

Murray and Corretja teamed up five weeks ago and were thrust straight into Monte Carlo. Corretja's work for Spanish television in Paris, though, meant he was unable to watch Murray's first-round match against Eysseric.

Timewise, it has not been an ideal liaison and Corretja is unclear about how it might work in the future but with more non-tournament time together he is sure Murray would benefit.

Corretja said: "He has a great team behind him in Miles (Maclagan) helping him and me with some special things on clay. He picks things up quickly. We didn't have any off-time to work on things. We started and a few days later we were in Monte Carlo.

"I don't know about the future but I think we would like to do it again. We would need 10 or 15 days to get ready to prepare for the clay court season. That would be the best."
