Novak Djokovic leads Andy Murray 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 3-3 in the semi-finals of the French Open

Andy Murray's late comeback against Novak Djokovic in the French Open semi-finals was cut short as a hail storm hit Roland Garros with the score at 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 3-3.

The British No 1, who is unbeaten on his least favoured clay surface this season, was lacklustre in losing the opening two sets by a single break of service on Philippe Chatrier.

However, Murray found form towards the end of the third to take it 7-5 before Djokovic called for a trainer and took an extended break.

Both players struggled to retain their serve on his return before the game was suspended at 3-3 and is expected to resume on Saturday.
