ROME -- Novak Djokovic has been pain-free for 10 days and is ready to return from the right wrist injury that forced him to withdraw from the Madrid Open a week ago. The second-ranked Serb has been practicing hard as he prepares for this weeks Italian Open and the French Open, which starts in two weeks. "Right now I feel much more confident at the state of my wrist and I know that Im ready much more to play a match than I was one week ago," Djokovic said Sunday after attracting thousands of spectators to a practice session with Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka on the Foro Italicos spectacular Pietrangeli court, which is lined with neo-classical statues. When Djokovic lost to Roger Federer in the Monte Carlo Masters semifinals last month, his wrist was heavily strapped and he was unable to serve or return at his usual level. "Its a wiser decision if you try to heal it 100 per cent than 50 per cent and compromise the next weeks," Djokovic said. The last thing Djokovic wanted to risk was a recurrence, citing wrist problems that have affected fellow players Juan Martin del Potro and Nikolay Davydenko "The second time that it comes back it becomes a chronic injury, which you definitely dont want to have," he said. "From now on I will be extra careful about my wrist." Djokovic opens in Rome against Czech veteran Radek Stepanek and hes hoping to have both of his head coaches in place this week -- long-time adviser Marian Vajda and six-time Grand Slam champion Boris Becker, who joined his staff in December. "Boris is here. And were trying to see if we can get Marian here, because theyre both going to be present in Paris," Djokovic said, adding that Vajda is spending more time with his family and two tennis-playing daughters lately. "(Vajda) understands and knows me really well and he can help Boris to get more efficient in that transition to co-operating well with me on the court," Djokovic said. "Thats why Im trying to get them to be together." A six-time Grand Slam winner himself, Djokovic won the Italian Open in 2008 and 2011. Custom Nike Texas Rangers Jerseys .

Robben scored in the second minute after Mario Goetze picked him out with a ball over the top. The Dutchmans initial effort struck the post but the rebound fell kindly for him to head home. He added his second in the 30th when he cut inside two defenders before letting fly. "It was clear that it was going to be a huge challenge for us," said Braunschweig coach Torsten Lieberknecht, whose squad reportedly cost 128 times less than Bayerns. Bayern utterly dominated the first half but the visitors were unlucky not to score in the second as the home side relaxed. David Alaba saved goalkeeper Manuel Neuers blushes by clearing Domi Kumbelas goal-bound effort off the line, and Kevin Kratz hit the crossbar with a deflected free kick late in the game, which Bayern ended on the counterattack. "It was a difficult game because weve come from Dortmund and Moscow," said Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, referring to his sides previous league and Champions League games. "Its another game more and we won. In the end Im very satisfied with the performance," the Spaniard added, after Bayern stretched its record unbeaten run to 39 games. Dortmund found Mainz a tough nut to crack as Juergen Klopp returned to the club where he spent his entire playing career and coached for 7 1/2 years. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finally broke the deadlock in the 70th, with a free kick that went in off the left post. But Mainz equalized through Eric Maxim Choupo-Motings penalty four minutes later after Lukasz Piszczek brought down Yanus Malli. Robert Lewandowski restored Dortmunds lead through another penalty five minutes after that, and Mainz midfielder Elkin Soto was sent off for handling Aubameyangs effort on goal, before Lewandowski gave the scoreline a flattering look with another penalty in injury time. "Im totally happy with the result and with the way the game went," Klopp said. Werder Bremen scored in the last minute for a 4-4 draw at Hoffenheim, Bayer Leverkusen beat relegation-threatened Nuremberg 3-0 and Hertha Berlin drew 0-0 with Augsburg. Schalke defeated Stuttgart 3-0 in the late game to climb fifth and ease the pressure on coach Jens Keller.dddddddddddd "We played well here. Its crazy that it could end 3-0," said Stuttgart coach Thomas Schneider, whose side has just one win from its last seven games. Jefferson Farfan scored in the 34th when Julian Draxler set him up on the right and claimed his second in the 47th from the penalty spot -- the seventh awarded in the Bundesliga on Saturday -- after Draxler made the most of Christian Gentners contact to go down. United States midfielder Jermaine Jones, who ran over 12 kilometres (7 1/2 miles) during the game, secured the result with a powerful shot inside the left post in the 79th. "I have to pick one player out -- Jermaine Jones has taken criticism before, from me included, but he was outstanding today and Im happy he got his goal," Keller said. Earlier, Sejad Salihovic scored two penalties within six minutes for Hoffenheim to lead 2-0 by the 18th minute. Bremen captain Aaron Hunt pulled one back in the 45th, also from the penalty spot, one minute before Eljero Elia equalized when Hunts harmless-looking cross slipped through Koen Casteels fingers. Salihovic crossed for Kevin Volland to score four minutes after the break, and Kai Herdling made it 4-2 with a fine strike four minutes later. But Nils Petersen pulled one back in the 59th and Philipp Bargfrede scored his first Bundesliga goal very late to secure an unlikely draw for Bremen. "Im happy for all the neutral fans and the journalists -- they enjoyed the game. For us coaches on the other hand, it would often make you tear your hair out," Bremen coach Robin Dutt said. His counterpart was equally unappreciative. "If we played normal games for the whole season, you could say that such a game is awesome," Hoffenheim coach Markus Gisdol said. "But its like that every week with us. Its starting to get annoying." Leverkusen, humiliated in Wednesdays 5-0 home defeat to Manchester United in the Champions League, remains four points adrift of Bayern after the sides 11th win from 14 games. Sami Hyypias side endured a difficult start against Nuremberg before Son Heung-min scored with a neat finish in the 36th, Jens Hegeler set up Stefan Kiessling with his heel two minutes after the break, and Son scored his second in the 76th.
