Novak Djokovic is set to begin his Asian swing in Tokyo. The World No.1 will ramp up his chase for a record sixth year-end No.1 ranking at next week’s Rakuten Open in Tokyo. Djokovic has been out of action since he withdrew from his round of 16 match with Stan Wawrinka at the US Open with a shoulder injury.
Djokovic will pass Ivan Lendl for third-most weeks at No.1 with 271 when the ATP’s new ranking are released on Monday. Only Pete Sampras (286) and Roger Federer (310) have more. The World No.1 is slated to play Tokyo, followed next by Shanghai. ]]>
