Novak Djokovic has spoken to Andy Murray to wish him well in his battle to return to fitness.
Murray, who had hip surgery in January, has not played a competitive match since Wimbledon last year but hopes to return in time for this year's tournament.
Djokovic recently had an operation on his elbow in an attempt to cure a problem which has troubled him for the past two years, and is now through to the third round of the French Open without losing a set.
The Serbian, who has slipped out of the world's top 20 for the first time since he was a teenager due to his spell out injured, knows just how two-time Wimbledon champ Murray is feeling.
"We spoke recently because we are part of the player council, so we had a meeting and he was on the conference call," said Djokovic.
"I can only imagine how difficult it is for him, as well, to deal with the circumstances of injury.
"You know, that's something that I can relate to. I mean, I have had quite a similar situation, although his injury takes more time, obviously.
"Hopefully we can see him playing on grass, because that's where, I guess, he wants to play."
Djokovic set up a third-round meeting with 13th seed Roberto Bautista Agut after a 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 6-4 victory over another Spaniard, Jaume Munar.
