Djokovic: 'I've moved on from French Open setback'

World number one Novak Djokovic has insisted that he has 'moved on' from his French Open disappointment in time for the start of Wimbledon.

The 28-year-old was edged out by Stanislas Wawrinka in the Roland Garros final earlier this month to end his hopes of completing a career Grand Slam in 2015.

Djokovic admits that he struggled to overcome the initial shock of missing out at the last hurdle, but he heads to London in a buoyant mood once again.

"Right after I lost the match, of course, there was this sense of disappointment," the Serbian pro is quoted as saying by The Express. "There is no doubt about it. I felt that for some days after it.

"Because I have a family, I have different things in life, different interests, I've managed to move on because of the experience that I talked about previously of learning how to handle these particular situations and circumstances. I managed to get the necessary reset in my mind."

Djokovic will take on world number 33 Philipp Kohlschreiber in the opening round of Wimbledon.
