Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the upcoming 2024 Miami Open just days following his premature exit in Indian Wells, as per reports.
Djokovic recently contested the ongoing Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells, where was the top seed and one of the favorites to win the title. After receiving an opening-round bye, the Serb defeated Australia’s Aleksandar Vukic 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 in the second round. He, however, suffered a shocking upset to lucky loser Luca Nardi, 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, in the third round on Monday, March 11.
The defeat to the World No. 123 was one of Novak Djokovic’s worst in his career, given it was his first-ever loss against a lucky loser.
In his Indian Wells press conference following the setback, the Serb cast doubt over his Miami Open participation.
“Let’s see, obviously 10 minutes ago I was on the court, so I’m still hot-headed a bit. I need to take a day or two and then see what I want to do next,” he said about his Miami Open appearance.
In his Indian Wells press conference, Novak Djokovic also reflected on his uncharacteristic loss to Luca Nardi and his discouraging start to the 2024 season.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion has participated in three tournaments so far this year – the United Cup, the Australian Open, and the Indian Wells Masters, but has yet to win a title. He has registered just nine wins against three losses.
