French Open 2016 final: Andy Murray Ready for tough battle with Novak Djokovic

World No. 2 - Andy Murray will bid to win the third Grand Slam title of his career when he meets World No 1 Novak Djokovic in the final of the French Open.

Djokovic, 29, is vying to win the French Open, the only major to so far elude him, for the first time in his career.

He was imperious in straight sets wins over Tomas Berdych and Dominic Thiem in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively and is the favourite to win the trophy.

The French Open title has been dangling tantalisingly out of reach for Djokovic ever since he reached his first grand slam semi-final at the tournament nine years ago.

He has since amassed six Australian Open trophies, three Wimbledons and two US Open crowns, but at Roland Garros the closest he has come is three final defeats.
