Djokovic reaches Miami Open final, one win from 100th career singles title

Novak Djokovic is one win away from a 100th career singles title after breezing past Grigor Dimitrov 6-2 6-3 on March 28, 2025 to reach the Miami Open final, where he will face either third seed Taylor Fritz or rising Czech Jakub Mensik. Djokovic will be the favorite in the March 30 final to win a seventh Miami Open crown, which would break his tie with Andre Agassi for most titles at the Masters 1000 event.

01:38Game, set, match, Djokovic.
01:54That's what he was most impressed about.
01:57I'm very glad, obviously amazing to have him,
02:00great honour and pleasure to play,
02:02I think probably for the first time in front of him live.
02:07So I'm really grateful that he was here with his son,
02:10I think, and his family.
02:12I admired him, of course, as most of the world,
02:16for most of his career,
02:18so it's amazing that he still keeps going.
02:20We're actually the same age, born in 1987,
02:22so it's quite nice to have him around.
02:25As far as my game goes, again,
02:28serve definitely the highlight of the match.
02:32I think it was 83% last match,
02:34and I thought probably it would be difficult to beat that,
02:37but today 87%, so I don't know what to say.
02:40I've been serving very well,
02:42and hopefully I can continue in the same fashion,
02:45because that definitely makes my life easier on the court.
02:48You're now within one win of another major milestone,
02:51100 titles.
02:52How much has that driven you in the last few weeks?
02:55Well, I mean, after Olympics, which was 99 title,
03:00I knew at every tournament I play I'm going for 100,
03:03and wasn't able to achieve that until hopefully Sunday.
03:08I'm going to go all in.
03:10I haven't dropped the set.
03:12I'm playing really good tennis,
03:14as good as I've played in a long time,
03:17so hopefully it can come here.
