"I feel I am always in that contention to fight for any Grand Slam trophy," he said during one of his pre-tournament pressers. "I believe in my own abilities to get far and to fight for, you know, one of the most prestigious trophies in the world of tennis." "As a defending champion of course more so, to believe I can do it again," he continued. "Reliving the memories from last year is something that obviously gives me goosebumps and motivation to try to replicate that, if I can say that." If he does end up winning the title in Paris, the Serb will become just the second man after Nadal to defend his French Open crown in the last 21 years.
