The Miami Masters 1000 is coming up in 2024, and Novak Djokovic, a Serbian player, not going is something that stands out. We look into why the world’s number one player chose to skip such an important tournament in this piece.
Carlos Alcaraz was named the new winner of the Indian Wells Masters 1000, which just ended. Right after it, the 2024 Miami Open, another prestigious event, is set to start in the United States. The best tennis players in the world are expected to play at the Florida courts, just like they do at Indian Wells.
But the event will miss Novak Djokovic, who is ranked number one in the world, and fans will feel his absence very strongly. Many people were upset that he had to quit early at Indian Wells, and they are now surprised that he won’t be in Miami. Still, Djokovic has good reasons for making his choice.
Remember that “Nole” is getting close to his 37th birthday, even though he doesn’t look old. Even for a true professional like Djokovic, his body will eventually give out after such a long and difficult career. These, along with personal issues, are the reasons he couldn’t go to the Miami Open.
Novak Djokovic talked about not being in Miami. What did he say?
Many people think that Novak Djokovic is the best tennis player of all time. He posted on social media that he wasn’t going to join because “at this stage of my career, I’m balancing my private and professional schedule.”
Even though he didn’t say it directly, taking care of his health is probably another important reason for this choice. Tennis fans all over the world will miss this development. The Serbian said, “I’m sorry I won’t get to meet some of the best and most passionate fans in the world.”
