Djokovic withdraws from Miami OpenNovak Djokovic of Serbia sits up after falling to the court with exhaustion against Jack Draper of Great Britain in their fourth round match of the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden on March 11, 2026 in Indian Wells, California. MIAMI, United States — Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Miami Open with a right shoulder injury, organizers said Sunday (Monday Manila time). The 24-time Grand Slam champion reached the fourth round at Indian Wells this week, but the six-time Miami champion opted out of the second leg of the "Sunshine Double” — where he fell to Jakub Mensik in last year's final. Indian Wells marked 38-year-old Djokovic's first tournament since he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the Australian Open final. "If I don't serve for five or six minutes then I feel like the first couple of serves of that game are a bit painful," Djokovic said.
