Novak Djokovic will face the Netherlands’ Botic van de Zandschulp in his 2025 Indian Wells Masters opener. However, incoming social media reports suggest that the Serb might be under the weather. The 24-time Major winner’s fans are subsequently worried about his health, going by their reaction on social media.<\/p>\n

Djokovic is a five-time Indian Wells champion but hasn’t enjoyed a deep showing at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament since his most recent triumph in 2016. The 37-year-old was seen ironing out the kinks in his game during his first practice session at the Palm Springs event on Wednesday (March 5). He was caught on camera sneezing and blowing out his nose in between points, alarming a few fans since.<\/p>\n
