Djokovic says he is pain-free as he begins his run at the Miami Open
Novak Djokovic says he has been pain-free for two days, allowing him to concentrate on his comeback from a long-running elbow injury.
"It's quite refreshing," he was quoted as telling press before the Masters event at Miami. "Everything else had pain involved.
"[For the] first in a long, long time, I could actually be focused on the game."
**TC Live - Novak Djokovic: **
Djokovic fell in his opening round at Indian Wells, his first event since a "medical intervention" on his elbow following the Australian Open. The Serb had said it was like playing his "first match" on tour, but now hopes for a better start at Miami.
He began this season with a new serving motion, and appears to have further adjusted it since his layoff.
"I am not yet at my best," he said. "I have had to modify a lot things in my game...when I made this intervention, it's obviously pretty invasive.
"But right now, I'm not playing with the pain which is the important thing."
Djokovic is the ninth seed at Miami.
