Novak Djokovic continues to tread firmly in this Miami Open 2025. The world number five convincingly defeated Grigor Dimitrov with a score of 6-2 and 6-3 in 1 hour and 10 minutes of outstanding play. Despite some occasional good moments from the Bulgarian, Nole had control over the points, remaining focused and serious, not giving away anything. Now, the Serbian awaits his opponent in the final from the match between Taylor Fritz and Jakub Mensik.

Right after greeting Delpo, Djokovic was the second to step on the court, and like Grigor, both were smiling during their entrance to Hard Rock Stadium. Although the sun was not out, the match started at a high intensity, with Dimitrov immediately dispelling rumors of any physical issues and taking charge by setting the pace and direction, gaining points on the scoreboard. Nole's response came promptly, yet his expression turned completely serious.

Despite the initial spark, Dimitrov's flame quickly faded in front of Djokovic who stopped conceding ground, targeting his opponent's one-handed backhand and pressuring in each exchange until leaving Grigor gasping for air, despite his ongoing efforts. In just over half an hour, the fourth seed in Miami claimed the first set, commanding effortlessly from the baseline.

Even though his team asked him to improve his body language or even play with slice, Nole's winning streak extended to seven straight games, until Grigor eventually reacted on his serve. The number of unforced errors revealed the key to Djokovic's victory, as he only made 3 compared to Dimitrov's 27, who tried to step up in the closing stages of the match, though it was already too late.

Dimitrov attempted to push Nole out of his comfort zone, but the Serbian did everything in his power to stay focused. There was little more Grigor could do as he was destined for defeat against a strong Djokovic, who displayed a slight smile at the end of the match, showing satisfaction from the win but eager to go for the title in Miami.
