Summary
Andy Murray was one of the favourites for the title a week ago, but after two five-set epics against players ranked outside the world's Top 100, does he still have a chance of going all the way? Catherine Whitaker is joined by the Telegraph's Tennis Correspondent Simon Briggs to discuss an eventful first five days in Paris.
The Murray/Mauresmo situation is detailed, Murray's travails covered, and Briggs assesses whether the British player still needs to find a Super Coach or not.
And what of Djokovic, Nadal, Serena and Azarenka after first two rounds?

| 0:36.0 | Yeah, the laptop's been getting a bit of a bashing last few days. |
| 0:39.3 | It's certainly written more pieces than I expected about Andy Marri at the stage of the tournament. |
| 0:43.3 | I guess you normally expect him to make reasonably easy work at the first few days, |
| 0:48.7 | but he's been keeping us here till late and that's been fine in a way because it's been good drama. |
| 0:55.2 | He's been very kind, hasn't he? Because both he and Emily Marri's Moe have provided you with |

| 1:24.0 | but then it was published subsequent to Marri's Moe, so it seemed like a sort of response. |
| 1:29.2 | He said he thinks the reporting of that to and fro in the media has been a little bit unfair. |
