Djokovic returns to main stage

MONTREAL - Novak Djokovic returned from the studio to the stadium after two well-received late-night US television appearances in the run-up to Monday's start of the Montreal Masters.

Serbia's new world No 1 is still celebrating his rise to top spot in the ATP rankings after winning Wimbledon last month, pushing Rafael Nadal down to second and leaving Roger Federer at No 3.

Djokovic showed a natural talent for banter - and Serbian kolo folk dancing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - and also made a guest appearance one night later with host Conan O'Brien before flying to Canada from Los Angeles where he trained last week on the fringes of the ATP event at UCLA.
