Novak Djokovic continues to make world tennis history. The 37-year-old Serb defeated Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti with a solid 6-2, 6-2 win in the round of 16 at the Miami Open 2025. With this victory, the number five ATP ranking advances to the quarterfinals in this tournament for the first time since 2016, when he conquered his sixth and last title on Floridian soil.
Djokovic, who had not competed in Miami since 2019 for various reasons, is in search of his seventh crown at this Masters 1000 and, more importantly, his 100th title as a professional, a feat that only three men have achieved in tennis history (Jimmy Connors, Roger Federer and Ivan Lendl).
Next challenge: Korda
In the quarterfinals, Novak Djokovic will face American Sebastian Korda, currently ranked 25th in the ATP rankings.
Korda comes from beating Gael Monfils in a very even duel and will be looking for a surprise against the greatest Grand Slam winner in history.
It will be the third meeting between Novak Djokovic and Sebastian Korda.
The Serb leads the record, although Korda has already shown that he has the tools to make life difficult for the best on the circuit.
Three steps away from glory
Buzzy
With 97 singles titles to his credit, Novak Djokovic is three wins away from reaching the milestone of 100 career crowns.
The Serb has already won 24 Grand Slam titles, 40 Masters 1000 and 6 ATP Finals, consolidating his position as one of the most successful players of all time.
If he wins in Miami, Novak Djokovic would become the third male tennis player to reach 100 titles, moving even closer to Connors’ record (109).
Moreover, achieving it on U.S. soil would have special symbolism for his global legacy.
