Djokovic 'playing the best tennis in quite some time' as he reaches Miami Open semis

Novak Djokovic delivered a stunning performance to secure his place in the semi-finals of the Miami Open with a dominant 6-3, 7-6 (7/4) victory over American Sebastian Korda. The win saw Djokovic become the oldest man to reach a Masters 1000 semi-final, a remarkable achievement at the age of 37.

The Serbian star made a confident start, breaking Korda early to take the first set, a lead he never relinquished. However, Korda showed his resilience in the second set, pushing the match into a tie-break. Djokovic remained firm under pressure, securing the win with a powerful ace.

Looking ahead to his semi-final clash with Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov on 28 March, Djokovic reflected on the key to his success in this match, citing his serve as the decisive factor.

"One word: serve," Djokovic said. "I was serving very well, probably the best serving performance, not just here, but in a long time. Eleven aces when I needed to find my first serve—it makes life easier on the court when you're feeling your serve. I needed it in the second set, especially when I think Korda was finding his groundstrokes much better."

With a victory in Miami, Djokovic would clinch his 100th singles title, a milestone for the 24-time Grand Slam champion. He expressed his satisfaction with his form, saying, "I am obviously playing the best tennis I have in quite some time. It's great when I experience tournaments like this and performances like this. It motivates me and encourages me to keep going for more."
