- Like all who love tennis, I'm happy they're there. They are legends of tennis, great champions who have greatly contributed to the popularity of our sport and it is good that we see them again in the finals - Djokovic said at a press conference in Acapulco, where they will play in the tournament that is his last test for the Masters in Indian Wells and Miami.

Djokovic was eliminated at an early stage of the first Grand Slam of the season in Melbourne but, as he said, he thinks he is ready.

- For years, I had the good luck to be very successful there, I won six titles, and this is the first time I've been knocked out in the first week. Good thing I was able to get some rest, spend more time with my family, but I worked hard in recent weeks and I think I'm ready to play well - said the world number two.

The march to the title in Acapulco Djokovic begins tonight one hour after midnight against the Slovak Martin Klizan.
