NOVAK Djokovic played down his chances of making a quick return to world No. 1 despite an emphatic victory in Beijing on Sunday which gave him a shot at supplanting Roger Federer at the ongoing Shanghai Rolex Masters.
The Serb was world No. 1 for nearly a year before being deposed by Federer in June.
"That's the target," said the 25-year-old, owner of five grand slam titles including this year's Australian Open. "This (win) will definitely help me in that race, but it's still quite open," Djokovic said.
"There are still tournaments to come, big ones. Shanghai, obviously the first 1000 event (this week), everybody is playing there except (Rafael) Nadal.
"I want to try to get as far as I can in the tournament, obviously taking one match at a time as I always do."
In Shanghai, Djokovic has Tsonga, Tomas Berdych and Janko Tipsarevic in his side of the draw.
