British number one Andy Murray has said there was a time he thought he would never reach a French Open final.
The 29-year-old will face world number one Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final after beating defending champion Stan Wawrinka 6-4 6-2 4-6 6-2.
"At the beginning of my career it was always a big struggle for me," Murray told BBC Radio 5 live.
"When I was having problems with my back on clay I never thought it would happen for me here."
Murray has now reached the final of all four Grand Slam tournaments, but up until 2013, the year he had surgery on a back injury, he had reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros just once.
