Novak Djokovic has started practicing on the hard court ahead of the Rogers Cup in Toronto, which kicks off on July 25.

Following his disappointing exit at Wimbledon, which he suffered in the hands of Sam Querrey, Djokovic is now back on the tennis court, doing some practice sessions in Marbella as he prepares for the American hard court season.

Djokovic had a tremendous start this season, highlighted by his masterful win at the French Open a few months ago. The victory put the Belgrade native in pole position to complete a calendar Slam and a Golden Slam, but any possibility of achieving rare feats were halted by his defeat in Church Road.

But despite his unexpected loss at the event, many believe the 12-time Grand Slam winner would bounce back at the ATP 1000 Masters in Canada, where the Serb joins career rivals Andy Murray and Roger Federer.

However, Djokovic must prepare well if he wishes to immediately get back in his winning ways in time for the 2016 Rio Olympics and US Open, the remaining Grand Slam event of the year. Djokovic's coach Boris Becker revealed that after winning the Serb won his first ever Roland Garros title, the world No. 1 did not prepare well enough, something Djokovic should avoid, with Federer and Murray gaining steam.

"After the win in Paris, everyone congratulated Novak," Becker said, reports Tennis World USA. "He enjoyed it a little bit too much, and so neglected the preparation. I did not see him at the top."

There are also concerns over Djokovic's form after admitting he is "not 100 percent" competing at Wimbledon, where he won two-consecutive titles before his stunning defeat in the third round. But it seems Nole fans have nothing to worry, with Djokovic already in practice-mode a week before his next competition.

 Meanwhile, Djokovic has also confirmed he would play in the men's doubles category at the Rogers Cup. Djokovic, a former three-time champion in the tournament, will team-up with compatriot Nenad Zimonjic, a former world No. 1 on the said category.
