Novak Djokovic unleashed one of his best performances of 2025 in the round of 16 of the Miami Open, a tournament he has won six times (only at the old venue in Key Biscayne) and where he hopes to lift the 100th title of his legendary career.

Yesterday, the Serbian legend defeated Italian ace Lorenzo Musetti thanks to a 6-2 double and sent a very clear message to all his opponents. After the shocking elimination in the second round at the ‘BNP Paribas Open’ in Indian Wells, the former world No.1 is regaining his confidence and plans to give his best to achieve a special result in Florida.

The 37-year-old from Belgrade – who had not started his match well against Musetti by suffering a break in the first game – shifted gears from the middle of the first set, leaving the crumbs to his opponent, also thanks to the excellent level of his serve.

During the match, it seemed clear how focused and motivated Nole was to shine in front of two former champions like Juan Martin del Potro (who was sitting in his box) and Serena Williams (with whom he has always had a great relationship).

The 24-time Grand Slam champion will face local idol Sebastian Korda today for a spot in the semifinals.

Nole has been fined

Meanwhile, Djokovic received some bad news just in the last few hours. According to reports from ‘Marbella Horas,’ the Serb has been fined 5,000 euros for renovating his home in Marbella (Spain) without permission.

It seems that Novak and his wife Jelena had already received a warning from the municipality of Marbella, but they had missed the two-month deadline for obtaining the necessary permit to proceed with the work.

It is no secret that Nole spends a lot of time in Marbella, which is also the location of his training sessions during the winter period.
