Former world number one Novak Djokovic is set to feature in
two ATP 1000 events in March. The 37-year-old is regarded as the greatest
players in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category, having won as
many as 24 Grand Slam titles.
Djokovic is currently in Doha where he will face Italy’s Matteo
Berrettini in the round of 32. Even before the start of the event, the Serbian
legendary tennis star has already confirmed his participation in two ATP 1000
events in March. Those events will be Indian Wells and the Miami Open.
Djokovic has a fabulous record while playing at the Indian Wells
where he has lifted the title five times. His first title there was in 2008
where he defeated America’s Mardy Fish in the final with a score of 6-2, 5-7,
6-3. His most recent title in the competition was back in 2016 where he
defeated Canada’s Milos Raonic in the final in straight sets with a score of
6-2, 6-0. Last year, Djokovic lost in the round of 32 to Italy’s Luca Nardi
with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
Djokovic’s record at the Miami Open is even better where he
lifted the title six times. His first title in the competition was in 2007
where he defeated Argentina’s Guillermo Canas in the final with a score of 6-3,
6-2, 6-4. His last title in Miami was back in 2016 when he defeated Japan’s Kei
Nishikori in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-3. Last year,
the Belgrade-born star did not feature in the Miami Open in order to prepare for
the bigger tournaments in the summer including the French Open, Wimbledon and
the Paris Olympics.

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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.mandoist06-11-2026
- Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- 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
- Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.mandoist31-10-2026
