Novak Djokovic says the absence of Rafael Nadal from the French Open will give everyone a better chance of winning the tournament.
The Spaniard, who is a 14-time champion at Roland Garros, has been ruled out of this year's tournament due to injury.
Djokovic begins his campaign later when he plays Aleksander Kovacevic.
