"We are expecting it to happen in about a month," he said. "So for now I'm playing here. I'm playing Shanghai. I'm supposed to play Paris and London. Nothing particularly changes in terms of tennis schedule."

Djokovic, who has emphasized that his family will be his priority, also said that at finishing the season at No. 1 was his professional goal.
