A breakdown of the key stats from Andy Murray's semi-final defeat to Novak Djokovic at the French Open 2015

It was a case of so near, and yet so far for Andy Murray as he crashed out of the French Open after an enthralling semi-final match against Novak Djokovic.

Murray's hopes of winning a third grand slam title were crushed as the world number one beat him 6-3 6-3 5-7 5-7 6-1 at Roland Garros.

The epic match began yesterday, but had to be suspended because of rain just as the British number one was beginning to fight back against the Serb.

When play resumed earlier today, Murray looked to be on good form, taking the fourth set to level the score.

But in the end, Djokovic proved too much for him, winning the deciding set 6-1 to book himself a place in tomorrow's final against Stan Wawrinka.

"It was a very difficult match," Djokovic admitted afterwards.

"I started well early on with good aggression and intensity but Andy found his confidence on the court.

"The first game of the fifth set was very important and after that I started to play much better."
