Furious British fourth seed Andy Murray crashed out of the French Open on Sunday losing 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 to Tomas Berdych, the 12th seeded Czech.

Berdych will face Russia's Mikhail Youzhny for a place in the semi-finals.

Murray, a quarter-finalist in 2009, was angry that the match was concluded at 9:30 pm in fading light and after the tie had already suffered a 40-minute rain delay.

"There was the delay and the darkness, maybe I handled it better than he did," said Berdych, who will be playing in his first Roland Garros quarter-final.

"The balls were covered in clay, they were all brown and were tough to see and the court was really wet. My coach told me that Andy looked like he didn't want to play."
