Andy Murray a possible challenger at Roland Garros?

Although the French Open is the only Grand Slam that Andy Murray has failed to reach the final of and known that Grass and Hard Courts are his stronger services, the Scotsman is certainly looking in good shape in 2015 to be a challenger at Roland Garros being now one of the very few people to claim a victory over Rafa Nadal on clay (there has been more humans on the moon than those that have beaten Rafa on clay), after beating him in the final of the Master Series Madrid Open 6-2 6-3.

Murray Mints has shown impressive form on the red stuff so far with a 100% record on clay in 2015 having won in Munich the week before albeit winning the final there on a final tie break, and in Madrid beat two other top 10 players (Raonic and Nishikori), and only dropped one set in 2nd Round. So can Andy keep this form up and possibly make his first final at Roland Garros, though as ever will be other challengers like Djokovic, and Rafa Nadal has only ever lost to one person at Roland Garros a certain Swede named Robin Soderling, is a different kettle of fish at French Open but is his amazing run there about to come to an end? We shall see.
