Federer's fitness not a concern for Djokovic

Australia open started in a sparkling manner And all the players are giving their best.Djokovic moved into the sport's elite last year with five ATP titles and a maiden appearance in a grand slam final moving him from 16th in the world up to third. But he knows he has another mountain to climb if he is to get past Rafael Nadal and then unseat Federer, who he describes as one of the greats of the game. Instead of focusing on beating Federer, who has been battling a stomach bug, the 20-year-old is looking to improvements in his own game as a means of reaching the top. "We don't need to talk about him too much," said Djokovic."He proved that he's the best player in the world in the past three, four years, and he really deserves that spot and that honour. Of course, he's one of the best ever that played this game. "I'm one of the players who is really trying to challenge him in that matter. You know, as a 20-year-old, I reached the third place of the world, but I'm really not trying to rush anywhere.
