Novak Djokovic v Sebastian Korda Head to Head
Their only previous meeting came at the 2023 Adelaide International final where Djokovic needed three sets to come through and win the title.
Djokovic Continues Good Form with Musetti Rout
Novak Djokovic’s form and fitness have been a topic of discussion for a while not in 2025 but he has dont everything possible so far in Miami to dispel that popular notion that he no longer is a threat.
In fact, bookmakers still have him as an outright winner favourite in Miami, a title he has won six times in the past, and his performance in the fourth round against Lorenzo Musetti has done everything to aid that narrative.
In a match that was attended by former tennis stars Juan Martin del Potro and Serena Williams, Djokovic romped to a 6-2, 6-2 win over Musetti. This was after he had fallen 0-2 behind in the encounter before winning nine games in a row.
Djokovic had earlier beaten Rinky Hijikata and Camilo Ugo Carbaelli in straight sets apiece to reach the fourth round. With a three-match losing streak under his belt coming into this tournament, Djokovic has done well to now win three in a row.
Can he make it his fourth win here?
Korda Sends Out Monfils
Gael Monfils isn’t an opponent you can take for granted despite the Frenchman being 38 years old. In fact he has been playing some of his best tennis this year and while Sebastian Korda was a bookmakers’ favourite at 8/11, this fourth round match could have gone either way.
In the end, it was Korda who took out Monfils, defeating him 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 to march into the quarterfinals at Miami for the second time in his career.
The last time Korda had made it that far was in 2021 before he fell to Andrey Rublev. Here, following a first round bye, Korda eased past Eliot Spizzirri in the second and then shocked Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round of the tournament.
Now comes Korda’s toughest encounter of the tournament. It’s against a player who has shown a few vulnerabilities this season, had a couple of tough sets in the first two rounds he played but at the same time looked to have improved with more court-time.
Can Korda pull off the proverbial rabbit out of the hat here?
Djokovic v Korda Predictions
