Djokovic and Dimitrov, record of longevity in Masters 1000 tournaments
When Novak Djokovic (37 years old) and Grigor Dimitrov (33 years old) step onto the Hard Rock Stadium at the Miami Open 2025 this afternoon to compete in the first semifinal of the men's draw, they will do so knowing that they have entered the record books of this sport. Combining the ages of both contenders, we will be witnessing the oldest Masters 1000 semifinal in ATP history, that is, since this category of tournaments was established back in 1990. Only one of them will advance to fight for the title on Sunday, but we can say that, regardless of the outcome, both will have made history. By the way, the Serbian dominates the head-to-head matchup 12-1.
