Murray admits he was outplayed

The British number one lost 6-4 7-5 6-3 in a rain-interrupted encounter on Court Suzanne Lenglen that finished in near darkness soon after 9.30pm local time on Sunday.

"You can't make excuses about the conditions, they're exactly the same for both of us, it's just tough conditions to play in and he played better than me," said the Scot. "I knew you need to expect him to hit a lot of winners, take a lot of chances. You need to try and be solid and stable and make sure that you just hang in there, because you'll get chances."
