BELGRADE, Serbia - Novak Djokovic says playing against Spain in the Davis Cup quarterfinals could boost his form ahead of his return to competition.
Djokovic said: ''I haven't had too many matches recently, and that's what I need to get back in shape.''
The Serb has dropped from his No. 1 ranking after a slump in form following his French Open title last year.
Djokovic's most recent match was a loss to Nick Kyrgios in the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., in March. He withdrew from Miami Open because of a lingering right elbow injury.
Djokovic says he no longer feels pain in the elbow.
