After which I still couldn't understand why they don't use the technology over marks on the court

If anyone knows then can you please explain

Because On clay the ball marks where it landed where as hawkeye just works out where it would have landed using trajectory and maths. because on Hard courts and Grass there is no mark to look at

so on clay you can actually worked out where it landed very accurately therefor no need for hawkeye

I confess, I thought it was all over. But credit to Andy, he is still fighting. And now Djokovic is pulling the 'medical' mind games again. #KeepFightingAndy.

Murray breaks to lead 2-1 in set 4 .
Djokovic breaks straight back .

Play suspended to due an imminent storm

Edit: it's raining now match will probably finish tomorrow

Yep.
Match to resume at midday UK time with Djokovic leading 6-3 6-3 5-7 3-3.

^^ plus they didn't want to risk this happening again!

Andy getting beat 6-1 in the final set was a bit of an anti climax.

Serena Williams has claimed a 20th Grand Slam title by defeating Lucie Safarova in three sets 6-3 6-7 (2-7) 6-2.

Swizerland's Stan Wawrinka beat Novak Djokovic in 4 sets.
And he did it wearing a pair of boxers

I see that Stan has donated his revoting pink-checkered shorts to the Roland Garros museum
