The six-time champion (Novak Djokovic) will thus be absent from Miami for the fifth consecutive year (March 20-31).
The defending champion in Miami is Daniil Medvedev.
The good news is that Novak is not defending any points at the tournament since he hasn’t appeared there since 2019.
Now, Novak will focus on preparations for the clay court season, with the first tournament he is expected to play being the Monte Carlo Masters, starting on April 7th.
