Serbian veteran Novak Djokovic
Djokovic, the last of the 'Big Three' still battling the court, has had a particularly tough season, with the first time since 2018 that he pulled out of the Australian Open semi-finals due to injury in January, and then crashed out of the Doha and Indian Wells Tennis Masters tournaments in quick succession. Fortunately, the former king of the 24th Grand Slam championship, actively seeking a comeback in Miami, the fourth seed who was exempted from the first round, opened the game with a strong liquidation of 6 consecutive games, and the second set line was forced to tie 7, Djokovic swept 6 points from 1:1, and locked the victory in straight sets, and met Argentine "lucky carrier" Carabelli in the round of 32.
The 37-year-old Djokovic, who won 40 career Masters, 59 finals and 78 semi-finals, all of which are the most in history, has now returned to Miami since 2019, and his 501st Masters match has surpassed the retired Nadal by one, and his 410 wins are the most Nadal holds. Novak Djokovic and American legend Agassi are tied for the lead with six titles in Miami and the goal is to win a new seventh.
