Andy Murray will be seeded 10th for the draw of today’s French Open. Currently ranked 11th in the world, he moves up to 10th seeding due to the withdrawal of Andy Roddick due to injury the American has picked up.
With no points to defend at this tournament due to missing last year’s with a wrist injury, Murray will be hoping for a good draw, with easy route to later the stages. There is less than 100 points separating him from 10th place Wawrinka in the world rankings and Murray will surely be hoping to overtake this at Rolland Garros. 9th place is not unachievable, 150 point overhaul on Richard Gasquet would be required, though it would perhaps be asking too much of Murray to jump 8thplace Blake, who is currently over 500 points ahead of the Scot. A Final spot (700 points) or winner (1000points) would be required if Blake did not drop any points, at this stage maybe a little ahead of Muarry, who has only managed two straight victories on Clay this year.

Murray and his fellow seeds will be hoping to avoid 3 time former French Open champion wild-card Gustavo Kuerten. Guga as he is known on tour is a Rolland Garros favorite and in his day one of the all time best clay court players. This will be Guga’s final tournament before retiring, perhaps a showdown with Nadal would be a fitting tribute to the Brazilian.
