Miami, March 26
Six-time champion Novak Djokovic jas entered the quarterfinals of the ATP Miami Open with a 6-2, 6-2 win against 15th seed Lorenzo Musetti on Wednesday (IST).
The 37-year-old, who is now three victories from his 100th tour-level title, will next gace American Sebastian Korda.
This is Djokovic’s first appearance in Miami since 2019. He had not advanced to the quarter-finals since winning the title at Crandon Park in 2016, according to ATP.
Djokovic fell behind an early break, and was given a time violation warning. That moment proved pivotal, as the 40-time Masters 1000 winner snapped into gear from there. The fourth seed won nine consecutive games to turn a deficit into a landslide, ultimately sealing his place in the last eight after one hour and 23 minutes.
Djokovic produced a statement performance in front of Serena Williams and Juan Martin del Potro (the Argentine was in his box).
