Watch: Murray Says RG Loss Will Make Him Tougher

Andy Murray believes he can draw some positives from his French Open final loss to Novak Djokovic.

The world No. 2, who completed a career Grand Slam of final appearances by reaching his first Roland Garros title match, said facing the No. 1 on dirt and the pro-Djokovic crowd "toughens you up a little bit."

"I mean, that was obviously tough, you know, as well. But I handled it well, I think, for the last couple of weeks considering," Murray told the media after the final. "Hasn't always been easy, but, you know, I handled it well and I'm happy with that. Wouldn't have done anything differently, really."

Murray hopes the support he receives from home fans at Queen's Club and Wimbledon will inspire him. Murray's last Grand Slam final victory over Djokovic came in the 2013 Wimbledon final.

"Yeah, it was good for me. It was good to go through things like that, as well, in your career," Murray said. "You know, it toughens you up a little bit. When I go back to playing at Queen's and then Wimbledon the atmosphere will be a lot different. You know, it will give me a boost, for sure."
