SHANGHAI - Novak Djokovic returns from injury at this week's Shanghai Masters with the eyes of the tennis world on his form and motivation as his world number one spot comes under threat from Andy Murray. "I neither want to think nor to talk about the number one position, nor to win tournaments or Grand Slams," Djokovic told reporters in the Serb capital. Murray had sympathy for Djokovic, his contemporary and sparring partner since their teenage years, saying his loss of motivation was "completely understandable". 'Stanimal' Wawrinka, the world number three and US Open champion, is in Murray's half and is returning to action after his stunning loss in the St. Petersburg final to rising German star Alexander Zverev. And Australia's often-controversial Nick Kyrgios comes to Shanghai in hot form after winning his third tournament of the season at the Japan Open on Sunday.
