Grimacing in pain with almost every step, Andy Murray nearly had to call it quits because of a back spasm at the French Open on Thursday.
Instead, the fourth-seeded Brit rebounded from an awful first set to beat Jarkko Nieminen 1-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 and reach the third round."I was a few points probably from stopping," Murray said. "I just didn't really want to stop the match.

The match lasted 5 hours, 41 minutes — the second-longest by time in French Open history. The record is 6:33.The last set alone took 2:28."I never felt comfortable.
