Djokovic oozing confidence ahead of century bid
- On Thursday, March 27, 2025, Novak Djokovic, aiming for his seventh Miami Open title and 100th professional title, defeated Sebastian Korda 6-3, 7-6 in a quarterfinal match at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL, that lasted 1 hour and 24 minutes.
- The match, originally scheduled for Wednesday night, was postponed due to scheduling conflicts from a lengthy women's quarterfinal match, under ATP rules to avoid matches continuing into the early morning.
- Djokovic, despite trailing 4-1 and later 5-2 in the second set, rallied, showcasing an 83% first-serve success rate and clinched the victory with an ace on match point, while receiving strong support from the Hard Rock Stadium crowd.
- Following his quarterfinal win, Djokovic expressed confidence, stating, "I've been serving great the entire tournament but particularly today I needed it in the second to try to come back," and mentioning his improved serve, which he hadn't focused on specifically with coach Andy Murray, while Lionel Messi watched the match.
- The 37-year-old Djokovic, seeded fourth, advanced to the semifinals on Friday to face 14th-seeded Grigor Dimitrov, holding a 12-1 record against him, as he seeks his milestone 100th title, joining Roger Federer and Jimmy Connors in achieving this feat, and will face either Czech Jakub Mensik or American Taylor Fritz in the final if he wins.
