Britain's Andy Murray says he is ready to challenge for the French Open when he gets his campaign under way on Tuesday, despite a lack of recent form.

The world number one has a relatively modest 16-7 record this year, with just five wins on clay.

He plays Russian Andrey Kuznetsov in the first round at about 11:30 BST, with fellow Britons Johanna Konta and Kyle Edmund also in action on day three.

Murray has a 2-0 record against Kuznetsov, ranked 73rd after reaching the semi-finals in Geneva last week.

'I need to accept that I'm struggling'

Murray was in good spirits when he faced the media on Friday, despite coughing occasionally.
