Novak Djokovic sets new standard: Surpasses Rafael Nadal to become all-time Masters 1000 wins leader
ATP
Novak Djokovic became the player with the most victories in Masters 1000 tournaments after a notable win over Camilo Ugo Carabelli, 6-1, 7-6. The world No. 5 already held most of the Masters 1000 records, but his run at the Miami Open has now completed his collection.
Djokovic's impressive list of achievements seems endless. In Masters 1000 tournaments, he reigns supreme with 40 titles — more than any other player — and 19 additional finals appearances.
This time, he secured his 411th victory in a Masters 1000 main draw, making him the player with the most wins since the format was created back in 1990. The Serbian entered the Miami Open just one win behind Rafael Nadal, and his victories over Rinky Hijikata and Carabelli have now put him ahead of the Spaniard.
Nadal, for his part, has claimed 36 titles and reached 17 finals, with a total record of 406 wins and 90 losses. With this achievement, Djokovic cements his place as the greatest Masters 1000 player, even though he hasn’t played more than four tournaments in this category per year over the last five seasons.
In terms of total wins, Roger Federer (381), Andy Murray (230), and Andre Agassi (209) are further behind. In fact, Djokovic has nearly double the victories of Agassi, one of the sport’s most iconic players.
Nole now faces a tough challenge in the Round of 16 against Italian Lorenzo Musetti (15th seed). The Serbian hasn’t reached the Miami Open quarter-finals since 2016, when he claimed his third consecutive title at the event (sixth overall). He’s currently tied with Agassi for the most titles in Miami Open history.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
