The Serbian star’s form hasn’t been the best in recent months, as Djokovic heads to Miami on a three-match losing streak.
Djokovic lost to Botic van de Zandschulp most recently at Indian Wells, 2-6, 6-3, 1-6, as he failed to advance to the third round.
He had lost one month earlier to Matteo Berrettini in his opening match at the Qatar Open, suffering his first career defeat against the Italian star.
The world number five will be looking for a much better showing at the Miami Open, as two mightily impressive records are within reach.
Novak Djokovic could become the oldest champion and the most successful player at the Miami Open in 2025
Djokovic could break two records at this year’s Miami Open if he were to win the title, currently held by two of the ATP Tour’s greatest-ever players.
Oldest Miami Open men’s singles champion – Roger Federer (37 years, 235 days)
Most Miami Open men’s singles titles – Andre Agassi (6 titles)
Roger Federer is currently the oldest player to lift the trophy in Miami, doing so as a 37-year-old back in 2019.

If Djokovic wins in Florida later this month, he will do so 78 days older than Federer was when he beat John Isner in 2019.
That’s not the only record Djokovic can break, however, as a seventh title for Djokovic in Miami would see him edge ahead of America’s Andre Agassi in the all-time leader board.
