When you think of the French Open, Andy Murray is likely not the first player to come to your mind. However, perhaps it’s time to give the Brit a little more credit on the dirt.

(He didn’t make the quarterfinals in 2013, but that’s because he didn’t...

Just like that, Stephens lost yet another chance to prove that she’s ready to be considered in the top echelon...
