Scot not fazed by French Open draw

Andy Murray insisted he is not daunted after being handed a "difficult" draw at the French Open, where he could face either world number one Novak Djokovic or defending champion Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals.

Murray - seeded third in Paris - will meet Argentinean Facundo Arguello in the first round, while the Scot would have to overcome the likes of David Ferrer, John Isner and Nick Kyrgios before even thinking about a potential final-four showdown against either Djokovic or Nadal at Roland Garros.

However, the two-time grand slam champion is not fazed by the challenge facing him in the French capital.

"I mean it really depends how you look at it [Murray's French Open draw]," the Scot said. "I'm in the same half of the draw as Rafa and Novak, so that's hard.

"For someone I've never beaten on clay before [Ferrer], and he's seeded in my quarter, so that's tough. Isner is the other seed there and Kyrgios who's obviously had some huge wins in slams.

"Isner has played pretty well on the clay this year, he's had some good results. [David] Goffin is in there who's a very tough opponent too.

"It's certainly not an easy draw, that's for sure but many times I've played in slams where draws had appeared extremely difficult and a couple of losses and all of a sudden everyone tells me it's an easy draw.

"So you just have to play the match that's in front of you and see what happens."

While his draw is not ideal, Murray heads to Paris in career-best form on clay.

The 28-year-old is 10-0 on the surface this year, after taking out the BMW Open and Madrid Masters, while he withdrew in Rome last week due to fatigue.

"It's the best I've played on clay [this season so far] for sure," he added. "I've never really felt particularly comfortable on the surface.

"Sometimes by the time I'd got to the French Open I'd started to feel good, but obviously winning tournaments and beating good players helps with the confidence.

"I feel like I have an idea of what I'm doing on the court sometimes, in the past I'd not really known what was happening on the court and felt like I was struggling with my movement even though people I was working with and staff and people that were watching the matches say I'm moving really well, but I felt like I wasn't.

"Whereas this year it doesn't feel like that, I feel like I'm moving well, I feel a lot free-er on the court, my body feels good so that's positive."
