"I want to improve my ranking," said the World No 4 as he eyed the No 3 spot currently held by Djokovic behind behind the world's top two, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. And he claimed the claycourt season will be key to his rise.

"I think the clay court season will be very important for me. On the hardcourts, I think my game is up there with the top guys. On grass it definitely got better last year. But on clay, it hasn't been the same as them."
