SHANGHAI -- No longer concerned about titles and honors, Novak Djokovic is instead trying to rediscover the inner joy he used to have while playing tennis.And after beating Fabio Fognini 6-3, 6-3 Tuesday in the second round of the Shanghai Masters -- his first win following a month-long injury layoff -- the top-ranked Serb said hes closing in on that feeling again.When I get on the court, of course I want to give my best and eventually try to win the match, the 12-time Grand Slam champion said. But not as a priority of must-win type of mindset, because that is not working for me anymore.I have just a different kind of vision right now.Its been a summer of soul-searching for Djokovic, who admitted to being both emotionally and mentally exhausted after finally succeeding in his quest to win the French Open and complete a career Grand Slam.He lost in the third round of Wimbledon and afterward reportedly said he was dealing with personal issues. He then went into the Rio de Janeiro Olympics with high expectations of winning gold only to stumble in the first round against Juan Martin del Potro and exit the tournament in tears.I really wanted it too much maybe, Djokovic said.Then came another frustrating loss to Stan Wawrinka in the US Open final and an elbow injury that sidelined him for a month.Back on court again in Shanghai, an upbeat Djokovic said he needed the time off to recharge mentally and put his career goals in better perspective.The last three months were up and down a little bit with oscillations, but generally I didnt find that kind of satisfaction on the court, he said before the start of the tournament. I do really feel like Im already getting better because I changed my mindset. ... I think Im a different person than I was maybe three months ago, maybe six months ago.Djokovic was rusty in his comeback -- double-faulting four times and making 18 unforced errors with only 13 winners -- but he had no trouble dispatching an even more erratic Fognini, who racked up 40 unforced errors of his own.Djokovic is aiming to win his fourth title in Shanghai, a tournament where he has a 25-3 record.Also Tuesday, del Potro faded down the stretch against 11th-seeded David Goffin, dropping serve in the 11th game of the third set and losing 4-6, 6-3, 7-5.The Argentine, on his own comeback from a series of career-threatening wrist injuries during the past several years, was trying to maintain the momentum that saw him win the Olympic silver medal and reach the US Open quarterfinals last month.In the end of the match, I make mistakes with my forehands and in important moments, and I think he took all the chances to win the match, Del Potro said. But for me, it has been a great season. [Im] trying to do a good comeback after many injuries. This is just a match.Nick Kyrgios, fresh off winning his third title of the year at the Japan Open on Sunday, defeated Sam Querrey 6-4, 6-4.I was just feeling very tired today. Didnt have the greatest sleep last night and obviously got in late the day before, the 12th-seeded Australian said. It was just tough.Sixth-seeded Gael Monfils also moved into the third round with a 7-6 (4), 6-3 win over Kevin Anderson, and ninth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Janko Tipsarevic 6-3, 7-6 (6).Two other seeded players fell in the first round, No. 10 David Ferrer and No. 14 Richard Gasquet. Bernard Tomic retired from his match against 15th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut with an abdominal muscle pain while trailing 6-3, 3-0.Kyle Alexander Jersey .

Jeremiah Martin Jersey . As he recorded his 23rd and 24th points of the evening, a segment of the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd expressed their appreciation for the Raptors point guard with a smattering of MVP chants.New South Wales 7 for 327 dec and 0 for 51 lead Queensland 6 for 330 dec (Burns 129, Khawaja 79, Labuschagne 76, Hazlewood 4-70) by 48 runsScorecard A Joe Burns hundred and 79 from Usman Khawaja gave Australias selectors significant food for thought on the second day of Queenslands Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales at the Gabba. The squad for the first Test against South Africa is due to be named on Friday and it is entirely possible there will be room for only one of Burns and Khawaja, both of whom were axed during the recent tour of Sri Lanka.Burns opening position was taken in Colombo by Shaun Marsh, who scored a century in that Test and has effectively proven his fitness - he recently suffered a hamstring injury - by making 73 in Western Australias Shield game on Tuesday. The other inclusion in Colombo was allrounder Moises Henriques, who had little impact and will not retain his place in the home summer, which opens up one batting position.Burns and Khawaja, who batted together for a 166-run partnership against New South Wales, might therefore have effectively have been competing with each other for a Test call-up. Having survived a tense evening period on the first day, they resumed on 1 for 39 and both moved to half-centuries against a high-quality attack whose every member owns a baggy green, including current Test players Mittchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon.ddddddddddddEventually, it was Trent Copeland who broke the stand by inducing a top-edge from Khawaja on 79. But Burns found another capable ally and put on 109 for the third wicket with Marnus Labuschagne, who is fresh from being named Player of the Tournament in the Matador Cup, and in this innings looked set for a third first-class hundred before Khawaja declared with him on 85 and the total on 6 for 330.By that stage Burns had departed for 129, his 12th first-class hundred, and he was one of four wickets for Hazlewood, who also had Peter Forrest and Chris Hartley caught behind cheaply. Hazlewood finished with 4 for 70 and Starc, who is coming back from a nasty training injury that led to 30 stitches in his left shin, picked up 1 for 62 from his 19 overs. Lyon took 0 for 75 from 18.Queenslands declaration came immediately after they had taken a first-innings lead, and it left New South Wales having to bat 12 potentially awkward overs under lights before stumps. However, David Warner made the most of the brief period at the crease and raced to 41 from 35 deliveries, while Ed Cowan managed 10 not out. By stumps, the Blues were 0 for 51, with a 48-run advantage in the match. ' ' '
