Wed Mar 26 01:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Djokovic Dominates Musetti, Advances to Miami Open Quarterfinals
**Miami, FL** – Novak Djokovic showcased a dominant performance at the Miami Open, defeating Lorenzo Musetti 6-2, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals. The Serbian star rallied after a serve clock warning in the first set, winning 12 of the last 14 games. The turnaround coincided with a noticeable boost in his performance, fueled, he said, by the presence of tennis legends Serena Williams and Juan Martin del Potro in the stands. Djokovic expressed his gratitude to both, particularly Del Potro who was in his player box for the first time.
Djokovic’s next opponent will be American Sebastian Korda, who defeated Gael Monfils earlier in the day. Their previous meeting, the Adelaide final in 2023, saw Djokovic emerge victorious in a three-set thriller.
Other notable results include Argentine Francisco Cerundolo’s upset win over Casper Ruud (6-4, 6-2), setting up a quarterfinal clash with Grigor Dimitrov. On the women’s side, Jasmine Paolini defeated Magda Linette to reach the semifinals, where she’ll face world number one Aryna Sabalenka, who beat Zheng Qinwen in a rematch of their Australian Open final. Sabalenka extended her head-to-head record against Zheng to 6-0.
