(Reuters) - World number one Andy Murray's recent form of just four wins in eight claycourt matches is clear evidence that he can be beaten, the Briton's French Open opponent Andrey Kuznetsov said ahead of their first round clash on Tuesday.

Murray has not progressed past the round of 16 in three of his last four tournaments on clay, suffering a third round loss to Croatian Borna Coric in Madrid and losing out to home favourite Fabio Fognini early in the Italian Open this month.
