Novak Djokovic is already in the fourth round of the Miami Open 2025 after overcoming the Argentine Camilo Ugo Carabelli. The Serb finished the job in two sets where he started strong but then showed total seriousness in his game despite playing against an inferior opponent (6-1 7-6). He has already defeated Rinky Hijikata and Carabelli in 1 hour and 41 minutes to face Lorenzo Musetti in the fourth round of the second Masters 1000 of the year.

Perhaps Novak Djokovic didn't seem like the main favorite to win the tournament when he traveled to the Miami Open 2025, but the massive fall of seeded players has opened up a great opportunity for him to claim the title next Sunday. The only remaining top favorites are 'Nole' and Alexander Zverev, although it is still uncertain what the most unpredictable tournament of the year has in store for us.

- At the Mercy of Nole

The match couldn't have gone better for Djokovic, as it served him well to find a good rhythm thanks to the long points showcased. In the first set, Carabelli tried to make the Serb fail with long rallies, but that tactic usually proves challenging to beat the player who is arguably the best in history at enduring long rallies. Without mercy and winning 100% of points with his rival's second serve, the Serb achieved a convincing 6-1 in the first set.

- Same Script, but More Success for Carabelli

Camilo's idea remained the same as soon as the second set began: trying to outlast Nole with long points. However, he started to hit good drop shots in critical points facing break balls. They were successful, although by the third one, Djokovic managed to find the formula to hit a good volley after returning it.

Just when we thought everything was going smoothly for Djokovic, Carabelli broke to try for the epic win and put the Serb in trouble until the tiebreak. The 4-4 in games was crucial, as Camilo was serving, and it lasted almost 10 minutes with the longest rallies of the match. At that moment, the match started to even out, and it seemed like the Argentine had a chance to take the set. Novak stepped up and managed to close the match in the tiebreak of the second set.
