Murray meets Cantona after win at Roland Garros

Andy Murray has said that he would be happy to take Eric Cantona for a tennis lesson after the two met at Roland Garros on Friday.

Murray had just reached the French Open final for the first time in his career with a four-set victory over Stanislas Wawrinka before he met up with the former French football star during his cool-down.

Cantona made his name in English football during his time at Manchester United but the 50-year-old told the British number one that he had recently tried his hand at tennis.

Murray is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "We mainly spoke about football. Not too much tennis.

"He said he's just had three tennis lessons. I told him if he's ever around the Wimbledon area I'd take him for a lesson at Wimbledon."

Murray is scheduled to face Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final in Paris.
