During a (horizontal?) media appearance today at the Rogers Cup in Montreal, Novak Djokovic says that he’s “eager to win some more match” after taking a break and hitting the U.S. talk show circuit.

Calling it the “best eight months my life”, Djokovic went 48-1 winning eight titles including the Australian Open and his first Wimbledon in July. The Serb now has his sights firmly set on a first US Open title.

He’ll begin that push this week in Montreal and then Cincinnati starting on August 15, just without the flip-flops.

In his first official match as a World No. 1, Djokovic will play the winner of Nikolay Davydenko and Flavio Cipolla on Tuesday.

“I have the game that brought me to No. 1, to where I am,” Djokovic told Tom Tebbutt. “Of course, there’s always something to improve, that’s why we’re working for hours and hours every day. I think I have the game that is good enough, on any surface, to beat the best players in the world.”

Djokovic won the 2007 Canadian Open in Montreal.
