Serbia's top-ranked tennis player and world no.2 said on Friday he was pleased with the progress of recovering from a right wrist injury and that he would almost certainly play at the upcoming Masters 1000 tournament in Rome.
Novak returns to the tennis court four days after the US Open final. The world no.1 takes centre stage in Friday’s opening singles rubber against Vasek Pospisil at 16.00 CET.
