British number one Andy Murray expects another tough match when taking on Novak Djokovic in the French Open final, which has plenty riding on it for both men.

Andy Murray has acknowledged that he is under pressure to overcome nemesis Novak Djokovic in Sunday's French Open final at Roland Garros.

The world number two, the winner of two previous Grand Slam titles, is looking to become Britain's first male champion in Paris since Fred Perry in 1935.

While Murray is desperately looking to end his Djokovic hoodoo, which most recently saw him lose in the Australian Open final earlier this year, the Serbian is himself aiming to become the first male player since Rod Laver nearly 50 years ago to hold all four major titles.

Speaking on the eve of the latest tussle between the pair, Murray is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "It's obviously a very big match for both of us - Novak trying to win the career slam and me trying to win my first French Open.

"Neither of us know how many more chances we'll have to win here. It's a very tough event to win. There's a lot riding on the match for both of us. We have had some really big battles in the Slams before on all the other surfaces. I'm sure it will be the same again on Sunday."

Djokovic has played in three previous French Open finals without success, losing to Rafael Nadal twice and also to Stanislas Wawrinka here 12 months ago.
