DJOKOVIC TOPS MUSETTI TO REACH MIAMI OPEN QUARTERFINALS, STILL IN SIGHTS FOR 100TH TITLE
Djokovic tops Musetti, 6-2, 6-2, on Tuesday to advance to the quarterfinals in South Florida.
Furthermore, the 37-year-old Serbian world No.7 needed only an hour and 22 minutes to eliminate his Italian opponent.
Moreover, Djokovic remains in contention to bag an elusive 100th ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) tour level title in his career.
“I think my level is really good, I’m very happy,” the Serbian superstar told Sky Sports Tennis.
“This was the best match of the tournament for me so far and what I like is to see me as I progress through the tournament raising the level of tennis and that’s what happening,” he added.
NOVAK OUT TO PLAY MORE CLAYCOURT EVENTS AFTER MIAMI
Djokovic remains in major contention to win the title in South Florida, but he already announced his plans to play more after this.
Moreover, the Serbian confirmed his participation to play at the Madrid Open for the first time since he last played there in 2022.
Furthermore, he will add Madrid to his busy schedule after Miami aside from his earlier confirmation at the Monte Carlo Masters.
“I’m looking to play more tournaments this year than I played last season, so hopefully also my level is going to go up,” Djokovic said in an earlier interview.
“Hopefully I will win a few more tournaments and my ranking will go up to where it should be. The way I’m feeling today, I still think that I can go strong for years to come,” he added.
STILL ‘SURREAL’ FOR NOVAK TO BE COACHED BY ANDY MURRAY IN MIAMI
Djokovac admitted is still felt “surreal” for him to be coached by Andy Murray in Miami despite the partnership starting at the Australian Open in January.
Furthermore, the Serbian shared his bonding moments with his former British rival, who retired late last year.
Moreover, he was also honored not just having Murray on his team, but to see retired greats Serena Williams and Juan Martin del Potro watching him Tuesday.
“It is still kind of surreal that one of my great rivals is my coach (Murray). Fist pumping and jumping around my box. Sometimes I pinch myself and ask if this is real,” Djokovic said.
“It was an honor to have Serena (Williams) courtside. I also had (Juan Martin) Del Potro in the box, so I had to perform in front of them. I think I did well,” he added.
