British ace Andy Murray, who lost his high-octane semi-final clash at Roland Garros against Novak Djokovic, said that he feels 'close' to the form that won him two grand slams.

The Briton fought back from two sets down only to lose 3-6, 3-6, 7-5, 7-5, 6-1 at the French Open.

The world number three said that according to him, his game was back close to where it needs to be in order to be winning Slams, the BBC reported.

Murray said that now with the grass-court season coming up, hopefully he could get himself an opportunity there and play much better going into the grass this year than he was last year.

Murray, who won both his major titles defeating Djokovic at the 2012 US Open and Wimbledon two years ago, has now lost eight matches in a row against the Serb.

Murray last beat the world number one in 2013.
