The 24-time Major champion won his most recent title in Paris last year, as Djokovic beat Carlos Alcaraz on his way to Olympic Gold.
Djokovic has been unsuccessful at each of the four ATP tournaments he’s appeared in so far in 2025, falling to defeat at the Brisbane International, Australian Open, Qatar Open, and Indian Wells.
Djokovic has bounced back at the Miami Open, however, winning his opening two matches as he prepares for a fourth-round clash with Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti.
A title for Djokovic in Miami would see him clinch a record-extending 41st Masters 1000 crown, a number that could grow ever larger when he returns to a European ATP tournament for the first time in three years next month.
