Djokovic Is Surviving A Tough Schedule
Unlike
the rest of the top 5, at least through Thursday, Novak Djokovic has
managed to play the Olympics, Toronto and Cincinnati without withdrawing
from one of the events before they began, or getting hurt and then
pulling out. Rafael Nadal has been out since Wimbledon and won't return
until sometime after the US Open, Roger Federer skipped Toronto, Andy
Murray pulled out before his second match In Toronto and David Ferrer
skipped the Canadian event.
"I
did consider the option, but right now I feel good, so after Toronto I
felt also physically well," Djokovic said. "And even though [in Toronto]
I had a lot of interruptions with rain and a lot of days where I,
struggled physically, I am her now and feeling good."
