In Andy Murray's potential finale at the Roland Garros after being stricken by injuries hoped to bow out in style.


His lack of game time caught up to him as he lost 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 to Swiss Stan Wawrinka after being broke in the first game of the match.


Murray never settled not breaking once in the match and going 4-0 down in the final set to help send the Swiss into the second record.


Fellow Brit Jack Draper lost in an embarrassing below par performance over five sets 7-5, 6-4, 6³-7⁷, 3-6, 6-3 to Dutch qualifier Jesper De Jong who is 141 ranking below the Brit after going two sets down.


The British number two lost the first set after having his serve broken on the first and the final games of the set. Losing the second set despite breaking first.


After winning the third on a tiebreak the Brit won the fourth leveling it up. De Jong won the match in the fifth and final set after both broke serve, the Dutchman taking the advantage by breaking in the penultimate game on the way to the victory.
