"Its obviously really satisfying and Im delighted," Djokovic said of finishing No. 1 for a second year in a row. "This shows how good my season has been. Im proud of what Ive done because it wasnt easy to repeat after the incredible season I had in 2011. But its not over, Paris and London next week are two very important tournaments and I want to try and focus on them." Djokovic said he came into the 2012 season conscious of his schedule and trying to avoid the same kind of injuries which forced him out of tournaments late last year. "Aside from the Olympic Games, the scheduling has been terrific for me," he said. "I havent played that many tournaments and Ive tried to focus to always perform my best at the major events."
