Novak Djokovic says he feels fresher going into next week's ATP Finals than in previous years as he chases an elusive record-equalling sixth title.
Serbia's Djokovic, 34, is seeking his first victory in the event since 2015.
After missing out on a rare calendar Grand Slam at September's US Open, Djokovic took time off before returning to win last week's Paris Masters.
"I needed that break to rejuvenate and get ready for a strong finish to the season," said the world number one.
Djokovic has enjoyed another stellar season, winning the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon titles to move level with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on 20 Grand Slam triumphs.
Victory at the US Open would have seen him move clear of his two great rivals for the first time, and also become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to win all four majors in the same year.
"I haven't played so much as previous years in terms of the amount of tournaments, but I did have a lot of exhausting events that I played, particularly in the Grand Slams," said Djokovic.
