Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Miami Open presented by Itau, which begins Wednesday.
In a post on X, Djokovic wrote: Hi Miami! Unfortunately I won’t be playing the @MiamiOpen this year. At this stage of my career, I’m balancing my private and professional schedule. I’m sorry that I won’t experience some of the best and most passionate fans in the world. I’m looking fw competing in MI in future!
The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings has played three events this season. Djokovic competed for Serbia in the United Cup, reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open (l. to eventual champion Jannik Sinner) and fell in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open to Luca Nardi.
Djokovic owns an 8-3 record on the season and will have to wait to pursue his first trophy of the year. He is two crowns from reaching 100 tour-level titles for his career.
The 36-year-old is a six-time Miami champion. Djokovic is 44-7 at the tournament, where he last triumphed in 2016.
