Tennis sensation Novak Djokovic has marked his return to the forthcoming Miami Open 2025, and the Serbian ace is set to feature in the Masters 1000 event for the first time since 2019.
The legendary player will be keen to win his first title in this tournament since 2016. Djokovic already has six titles to his name in the showpiece event and will be hopeful of claiming a seventh title at the Miami Open in Florida.
Meanwhile, the 24-time Grand Slam winner was recently spotted in the training sessions alongside his coach, Andy Murray, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The star player was also seen meeting players while sharing a heartwarming embrace with them during his practice session.
The Serbian ace seems to be going through the rough patch of his tennis career in 2025, with his recent three big losses raising some bold questions in the tennis fraternity. He lost the first game when he retired during his semifinal clash against Alexander Zverev in the Australian Open 2025.
Following the first Grand Slam of the year, the 37-year-old legend suffered defeats in the first round of the Qatar Open 2025 and Indian Wells 2025 after his defeats to Matteo Berrettini and Botic van de Zandschulp, respectively. However, despite this setback, the star player was seen gearing up for the forthcoming Miami Open 2025.

Djokovic's struggling 2024 season!
Djokovic had a struggling 2024 year where he failed to win a single Grand Slam title, with young players like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner winning two each. However, the 37-year-old tennis legend went on to win the gold medal match against 21-year-old Alcaraz during the Paris Olympics, and it was his sole achievement during last year's edition.
