Novak Djokovic participation confirmed
Miami Open has confirmed that Djokovic will play in this edition of the event. The Serb has a very good track record at the tournament, having won the Masters six times in his career. Djokovic, along with Andre Agassi, holds the record for most titles at the event. He will look to become the sole record holder this year.
The Miami Open is also the very first ATP 1000 title Novak won, way back in 2007. He has since become the only man to win all 9 Masters titles. Moreover, he also has a total of 34 Masters titles which is the second most in the sport’s history. Should he capture the title again this year, he will equal Rafael Nadal’s record tally of 35 Masters titles.

Novak said some nice things about the event after confirming his participation.
“I love coming back to play in Miami because it’s home to some of the greatest tennis fans in the world.”
This is high praise indeed from the World No. 1. Especially given his love-hate relationship with tennis fans in general. Miami, though, is somewhat different to most other venues. Fans here appreciate good tennis, and it does not get better than the Serbian.
