Novak Djokovic is searching for a first title of the season at the 2025 Miami Open.

The Serbian star’s form hasn’t been the best in recent months, as Djokovic heads to Miami on a three-match losing streak.

Djokovic lost to Botic van de Zandschulp most recently at Indian Wells, 2-6, 6-3, 1-6, as he failed to advance to the third round.

He had lost one month earlier to Matteo Berrettini in his opening match at the Qatar Open, suffering his first career defeat against the Italian star.

The world number five will be looking for a much better showing at the Miami Open, as two mightily impressive records are within reach.

Novak Djokovic could become the oldest champion and the most successful player at the Miami Open in 2025

Djokovic could break two records at this year’s Miami Open if he were to win the title, currently held by two of the ATP Tour’s greatest-ever players.

Roger Federer is currently the oldest player to lift the trophy in Miami, doing so as a 37-year-old back in 2019.

If Djokovic wins in Florida later this month, he will do so 78 days older than Federer was when he beat John Isner in 2019.

That’s not the only record Djokovic can break, however, as a seventh title for Djokovic in Miami would see him edge ahead of America’s Andre Agassi in the all-time leader board.

The pair are currently level on six, as Agassi dominated at the event during his time as a professional.

Which other tennis stars hold records at the Miami Open?

Djokovic could break two big records at this year’s tournament, but there are several others that his fellow ATP and WTA Tour stars will be eyeing up before too long.

List of Miami Open records (singles)

Serena Williams’ record of eight singles victories in Miami is perhaps the most ‘unbeatable’ of them all, considering just one active player has won multiple titles at the event.

Belarus’ Victoria Azarenka is a three-time champion at the Miami Open but is highly unlikely to break the American’s record as she approaches the latter stages of her career.

2022 champion and world number two Iga Swiatek looks like the biggest threat to Williams but will need to start racking up the wins if she wants to add another record to her glowing resume.

Only time will tell if she can do so, but she’ll first focus on her first-round matchup against either Caroline Garcia or Anna Bondar.
