'Inspired' Djokovic smelling maiden French Open victory

Novak Djokovic insists that he is determined and inspired by the opportunity to win his first French Open title, thus becoming the eighth man to complete a career Grand Slam.

The world number one has reached the French Open finals twice - in 2012 and 2014 - but lost both the times to nine-time champion Rafael Nadal.

Djokovic said that though the question of winning on the clay courts of Roland Garros comes before him every year, it merely provides him with the inspiration and motivation to perform well, Sport24 reported.

He further said that there is no pressure on him to win the tournament, despite the high expectations of winning the title, adding that he is neither distracted nor bothered by it.

Djokovic will enter the tournament with high chances of winning the title, having won the Australian Open as well as a hat-trick of Masters titles at Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo, with 30 wins and just two defeats for 2015.
