Rested Djokovic rarin' to return

BELGRADE - Sitting out last week's Miami Open was rejuvenating for Novak Djokovic, even though missing the chance to win a record seventh title in Florida was frustrating, Serbia's world No 3 said on Tuesday.

Djokovic missed the Masters series event with an elbow injury and, having recovered, is eager to face Spain in the Davis Cup quarterfinals in front of a boisterous home crowd in Belgrade this weekend.

"Of course I wanted to be on court and defend my title but it just didn't happen this time," Djokovic told a news conference in the Serbian capital's Aleksandar Nikolic arena.
