Djokovic: "Be more selective in your choice of tournaments".
After a disappointing third-round exit at the US Open, Novak Djokovic has yet to make a competitive comeback and has no immediate plans to do so.
In an interview with Serbian media, he explains: "When you're in my position, the pressure's always on. Especially when you're expected to win every game.
I always try to achieve a certain perfection, I prepare myself for that, I sacrifice a lot of my time and energy to resolve to play the best tennis when it's important.
But it's true that it's been a bit different in recent years - I've got older. I have to be more selective in choosing the tournaments where I want to reach my peak."
