Novak Djokovic and Kei Nishikori look ahead to the ATP Rogers Cup in Toronto

SOUNDBITE: (English) Novak Djokovic, world number one and top seed:

(on his first tournament since his early exit at Wimbledon)

"Well, I've had a week more than I've had in the past six, seven years of a grand slam career, it hasn't happened for a long time that I haven't played in the second week, so... one way or another, it happened for a reason and I've had time to reflect on the season and of course the French Open, that was very emotional, took a lot out of me. I got to spend more time with the family, I got to do more things off the tennis that fulfils me, keeps me going and so, you know, it's only half seson over, it's a new beginning."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Novak Djokovic, world number one and top seed:

(on the prospect of winning a record 30th Masters Series title)

"Well, you know, I appreciate and respect every achievement, but I don't want to think too much in advance. For now I just want to play well, feel good on the court. I haven't played for a couple of weeks in an official match and it's the first hard court tournament since earlier this year, so I'm just going to focus on my improvement, day in, day out, and see where it takes me."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kei Nishikori, number three seed:

(on his recovery from a rib injury)

"Yeah, it's much better now. I took almost one week off after Wimbledon and it's got much better now. So, feeling good and I've started playing points the last couple of days, so I hope I will be ready for Toronto this week, Wednesday."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kei Nishikori, number three seed:

(on playing on hard courts)

"Yeah, this is a great opportunity for me to play Toronto this year. I think I have a goodf chance if I play good tennis, I will have a good chance to go far this week, so it's been tough this summer, but I hope I can play good in these two Masters (tournaments) here and in Cincinnati."
