Novak Djokovic Withdraws From Miami Open With Shoulder Injury

Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the miami open with a right shoulder injury, tournament officials announced Sunday.

Djokovic Withdraws From Miami Open After Right Shoulder Injury

The withdrawal removes a six-time champion and eight-time finalist from the field. Djokovic, ranked No. 3 in the world, has won the tournament six times and reached the final on eight occasions, marks that are tied with Andre Agassi for the all-time men’s singles records at the event.

Djokovic lost last year’s Miami final to Jakub Menšík and had returned to competition this season, reaching the final at the Australian Open earlier this year before losing to Carlos Alcaraz. He is a 24-time Grand Slam tournament winner.

Recent Form And Immediate Consequences For The Draw

Djokovic played last week at Indian Wells, advancing to the fourth round in singles and the second round in doubles. His decision to withdraw from the miami open comes ahead of the release of the men’s draw for the tournament, which will be published Monday.

With Djokovic out, the draw will proceed without one of the tournament’s most accomplished competitors, and organizers will confirm the updated field when the draw is released.

The announcement came Sunday; tournament officials provided no further details about the severity of the shoulder injury or the expected timeline for Djokovic’s return. The men’s draw release on Monday will be the next scheduled update related to the tournament field.
