Hijikata avoids the Serbian duel and will be Djokovic's first opponent in Miami

Novak Djokovic already knows who his first opponent will be in his return to competition. On the horizon, a possible Balkan derby in the second round of the Miami Open 2025... a mission, however, thwarted by an inspired Rinky Hijikata. Nonetheless, Hamad Medjedovic will have much to regret: he served to win the match at 5-4 in the third set... and completely fell apart, delivering a horrible game (lost it to love) and handing over the match (7-5, 3-6, 7-5). Therefore, there won't be a showdown between student and master: the Australian will be Nole's first test next Saturday.

Alcaraz, Djokovic, and a meeting of legends in Miami

The Miami Open 2025 is much more than a tennis tournament. It could be said that it is a social event, in a privileged location in terms of brands and communities. The Latin presence is broad, and many sponsors want to make themselves known, leading us to encounters or meetings that immortalize great legends of our sport. Yesterday, at the famous Gekko restaurant, an appointment took place whose 'lineup' was immortalized in a spectacular photo: Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Juan Martín del Potro, Grigor Dimitrov, and Matteo Berrettini. Quite something: what would they talk about throughout the evening?

Emma Raducanu

Raducanu debuts with victory and shows good feelings in Miami: "I am proud of myself"

Emma Raducanu needs victories. Continuity. Confidence. The road back to the elite continues to be full of tough tests for the British player, who faces the Miami Open 2025 as another attempt to re-engage with the circuit's elite. Her debut left few doubts, overcoming Japanese wildcard Sayaka Ishii by 6-2 and 6-1: more importantly, though, are her post-match statements. "I'm very proud of how I competed today. It hasn't been easy for me to get to this point, but I think I delivered a great performance today". Her next match will be against Emma Navarro.

Moutet fuels his confrontation with Bublik: "People are different behind the cameras"

Corentin Moutet and Alexander Bublik experienced moments of high tension last week. They faced each other at the Phoenix Challenger and nearly came to blows after a tense match. The latest videos, taken from the stands, show the Kazakh inviting the Frenchman to settle things off the court. "I'll be waiting outside, in ten minutes", Bublik taunted his opponent. This incident caught the attention of Moutet, who added fuel to the fire on social media. "People behave very differently with cameras and without cameras. The real ones know. I won't say more about this. The real ones know", Moutet retorted. Can you imagine a new match between them soon?

Goffin will be Alcaraz's first opponent at the Miami Open

Carlos Alcaraz already knows who will be his first opponent in the Miami Open 2025. It is none other than a familiar face to the audience, David Goffin, who is nearing the end of his ATP circuit career. The Belgian managed a significant comeback against Aleksandar Vukic (2-6, 6-4, 6-2), in a fast-paced match where he used his greater experience to his advantage. At 34 years old, Goffin currently ranks #55 in the ATP standings and his best result in 2025 so far is reaching the quarterfinals in Acapulco, eliminating players like Ben Shelton along the way. Interestingly, in their last encounter, David defeated Alcaraz, marking Alcaraz's first Grand Slam champion match at Astana in 2022.

Joao Fonseca debuts new coach in Miami

Joao Fonseca continues to take giant steps to become one of the best tennis players of the moment sooner rather than later. The Brazilian is already ranked 61st and after winning the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires and the Phoenix Challenger in less than a month, he arrives at the Miami Open with the goal of continuing to progress. And to achieve that, he has decided to reform his technical team. Starting from this tournament in Florida, the young man from Rio de Janeiro will have Franco Davin on his 'staff'. It is worth noting that the Argentine coach coached Juan Martin Del Potro when he won the US Open in 2009 and also had Christian Garin and Fran Cerundolo as his students.

Fritz and the differences between the tracks of Indian Wells and Miami: "Bounce much less"

Taylor Fritz is looking for a better performance at the Miami Open than the one he showed at Indian Wells. The American tennis player fell in the round of 16 against Jack Draper, but is aiming to make amends in Florida, where the court conditions are different from those in California. "This tournament is always interesting because it guarantees that the center court will be different from the outer courts, it's never the same. It's a fast court, but at night and with the humidity it can become slower, although it's not a court with a very high bounce, quite the opposite, it bounces much less and the court is faster than in Indian Wells," stated the number three seed in remarks reported by ATP.
