Novak Djokovic looks to be waiting as long as possible to decide if he should risk playing the Paris Masters after re-injuring his right shoulder in a Basel loss.
The world No. 1 had only returned after six weeks away, but felt the effects of his shoulder in a semi-final loss to Kei Nishikori.
"My shoulder is very bad, I have a lot of pain in my body from the competition this week. I hope I can be ready for Paris," said the winner of 10 titles this season, whose run of luck ended when he was helped off the court in September Davis Cup play with the back problem he called the worst of his career.
Djokovic was heading off to Paris to see how he goes. "I don't think I'll be able to train for the next few days," he confessed, adding: "I'll decide later about playing."
The Serb said he'd been in pain from the start of Basel and was tested heavily in a first-round win over Xavier Malisse, which marked a return of the shoulder injury which had forced him to quit the summer Cincinnati final against Andy Murray a week before the start of the US Open.
"I could barely serve for much of the match, I was in pain," he said of his Basel loss.
