PARIS (Reuters) -Shortly before the time came to step onto court Philippe Chatrier with tennis veterans Roger Federer and Andy Murray to pay tribute to the recently retired Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, Novak Djokovic felt he owed much of his success to his former rivals.
The Big Four were together for a fleeting reunion but while neither Federer, Murray nor Nadal will be playing at the French Open, former world number one Djokovic, who has a record 24 Grand Slam titles to his name, will be in first-round action at Roland Garros on Tuesday.
