Shanghai Masters: Season not over yet, says Djokovic

SHANGHAI: The Shanghai sky reflected Novak Djokovic's mood on the weekend - shades of gray, 50 or more. The world No.1 has, in recent times, struggled mentally and admitted to 'personal issues' bothering him earlier in the summer. However,

is determined to soldier on and finish a season that appears to have spun out of control.

"The season is not yet over," Djokovic said. "There are a couple of big tournaments still along the way - Paris and London. I'll try to get ready for the indoor season where I have always played well."

Djokovic, who'll look at matters other than tennis in the weeks leading up to the indoor event in Paris in early November, said, "I'm going to celebrate my son's second birthday. That's an event I look forward to. I'm also going to do a lot of things off the court." Having seemingly lost his much-publicized 'holistic' approach to training and competition, increasingly looking like he'd rather be anywhere but on the tennis court, Djokovic said he was hoping to recover lost ground.
