"Preparing, obviously, is a big thing in tennis," he said. "Trying to gear up to play your best five straight days, which is obviously very challenging."
Federer leads Djokovic, 23, 13-7 in their all-time head-to-head meetings. But the Serbian comes into Dubai with the momentum and confidence that his career will continue its upward climb.
"I want to win more Grand Slams and I want to achieve my lifetime goal, which is to be number one in the world," he said. "I am being very ambitious, but it always has been my goal and I know that I can do it. I know I have qualities and you know, it is going to come."
But a Djokovic and Federer showdown in the final is still a long way away. To make it happen, they must work their way through a tough field that includes third-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, number-four seed Mikhail Youzhny of Russia, Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic and Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus among others.
