Novak Djokovic Withdraws From Miami Open With Injury After Early Indian Wells Exit

After Novak Djokovic’s early exit at Indian Wells, the 24-time major champion will not be following his run up with an appearance at the Miami Open as he withdrew from the ATP tournament on Sunday due to a shoulder injury. It doesn’t sound like a very serious injury as he’s expected to return to the court next month in time for clay season to start at Monte Carlo.

Djokovic lost in the Round of 16 at Indian Wells (where he was a finalist last year) to Great Britain’s Jack Draper. It was his first tournament appearance since playing in the Australian Open final in January, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz. He did beat Jannik Sinner in the semis of the first major of 2026, though.
