French Open 2016 order of play: Thursday's schedule with Novak Djokovic on Roland Garros show courts

Standard Sport25 May 2016

Andy Murray survived a five-set rollercoaster for the second successive match to scrape through to the third round of the French Open.

After coming for two sets down to defeat Radek Stepanek over two days in round one, Murray was back on court against little-known French wild card Mathias Bourgue.

The sun had finally come out and Murray was expected to stroll through against the world number 164.

But instead, from 6-2 2-0 up, he lost 24 of the next 27 points and eight games in row, and then found himself two sets to one down.

Staring at the worst defeat of his career, the world number two did what he invariably does in such situations and found a way back, eventually winning 6-2 2-6 4-6 6-2 6-3 in three hours and 34 minutes.

He will not be in action on Thursday, however, but here are the matches set to be contested - with Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams in action:
