MURRAY STAN SLAM

Brit star goes crashing out as ruthless Wawrinka shows no mercy in Paris

- NEIL MCLEMAN

ANDY MURRAY suffered a third consecutive brutal defeat by Stan Wawrinka at the French Open and this one will be the last here.

The Scot lost a five-set epic to his fellow triple Grand Slam champion in the 2017 semi-final and in straight sets in the first round in 2020.

And last night the former world No.1 went down to another crushing defeat, 6-4 6-4 6-2, in only two hours and 19 minutes under the unforgiving lights of Court Philippe-Chatrier.

During the embarrassingly one-sided third set, it was sad to see this great champion destroyed on one of the game's great stages.
