Montreal, Aug 8: A month after winning Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic will pick up a racquet once again as the world number one plays as top seed in the Montreal Masters, which begins Monday.
The Serb, who won the first of his three Canadian titles in 2007 in Montreal, also added another in 2011 and a 2012 honour in Toronto to his list of North American success stories.
Since beating Roger Federer -- who will not compete next week but will save his energies for the Cincinnati Masters and US Open to follow -- Djokovic has seemingly done everything possible to keep his distance from tennis.
He missed the Davis Cup quarter-finals last month to rest and was seen on holiday with the family and on the golf course in and around his base of Monte Carlo.     AFP
