Novak Djokovic is hard at work preparing for his opening match at the Miami Open.
The 37-year-old’s current form is a cause for concern having lost his last three matches on the ATP Tour.
The Serbian suffered opening round losses in Doha and Indian Wells against Matteo Berrettini and Botic van de Zandschulp respectively.
Now in Florida, Djokovic is keen to turn his form around and he is trying his best to make that happen alongside coach Andy Murray.
Novak Djokovic working on forehand with coach Andy Murray ahead of Miami Open
Novak Djokovic has been in Miami since the weekend as he is put through his paces on the practice court.
As was the case in Indian Wells, the 24-time Grand Slam champion is accompanied by Murray, his coach and former rival.
The pair have cultivated a solid player and coach relationship so far, but this is the most challenging time in their partnership so far as Djokovic bids to rediscover his best form.
Ahead of the Miami Open, footage was uploaded to social media platform X of the pair on the practice court seemingly working on Djokovic’s forehand.
He won just 29 per cent of second serves and committed 14 unforced forehand errors during the defeat to Van de Zandschulp at Indian Wells.
This is something Djokovic will want to rectify heading into the Miami Open, a tournament he has won six times during this career.
Who will Novak Djokovic play at the Miami Open?
Djokovic is set to compete at the Miami Open for the first time since 2019.
This will be just his second appearance at the Masters 1000 tournament since it switched venues from Crandon park to the Hard Rock Stadium.
Djokovic will commence his quest for a seventh title in Miami against either Rinky Hijikata or compatriot Hamad Medjedovic.
He is seeded fourth at this tournament and has been placed in the same draw as Carlos Alcaraz, who lost his first match at Indian Wells since 2022 when he lost to eventual champion, Jack Draper.
