Andy Murray will look to adapt quickly to changing conditions over the next few days as he prepares for "a good run" at this year's French Open.
The world No 2 has begun hitting the practice courts at Roland Garros with the confidence of a tournament win under his belt, having beaten Novak Djokovic to land the Rome Masters title last week on his 29th birthday.
Murray has enjoyed a mixed year overall and lost to Djokovic in the Madrid Masters final, a similar state of affairs to 2015, which ended with a semi-final defeat to the Serb in the subsequent French Open.
"It's really important in the next few days to get as much preparation as possible," the Scotsman told the French Open website.
"It's going to be tough, the conditions are meant to be pretty bad the next few days with the rain. It's quite different here to Rome, especially playing a little bit slower.
"I need to make some adjustments there but it's been a good few weeks."
Murray has never made it past the semi-final at Roland Garros. having lost three times there at the semi-final stage.
Two of those defeats came at the hands of Rafa Nadal and despite his return to the No 2 ranking after his success in Rome, Murray is also well aware of the dangers posed by his rivals.
"A lot of the guys here are playing really well," he added. "Rafa's playing well in the last few weeks, Novak's obviously every week and he's playing fantastic.
"[Kei] Nishikori has had a good run on clay, Stan's [Stan Wawrinka] obviously coming back as defending champion too.
"There are a lot of guys coming back that will be feeling good about their chances. I hope I can have a good run and get some good work done in the next few days to get ready."
