After a heartbreaking retirement in his Australian Open semifinal vs Zverev, he lost in his first match at Doha and Indian Wells. But having asserted that the conditions in Miami suit him better, it was enough of a warning.

Moreover, the 24-time major winner is unbeaten in semifinals at the Miami Open. However, Dimitrov is the runner-up from last year and will be desperate to match or better that result.<\/p><p>The first meeting between Djokovic and Dimitrov dates way back to 2012, when Nole thrashed the single-handed backhand specialist in Shanghai. With his solitary victory coming in 2013, it has been well over a decade since Grigor has had Djokovic&rsquo;s number. If ever there was an opportunity to tip the scales in his favour, there are very few stages bigger than the Hard Rock Stadium.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Event<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Round<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Winner<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Score<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2023 Paris<\/td><td>Final<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>6-4 6-3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2023 Rome<\/td><td>Round of 32<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>6-3 4-6 6-1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2023 Australian Open<\/td><td>Round of 32<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>7-6(7) 6-3 6-4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2019 Paris<\/td><td>Semifinal<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>7-6(5) 6-4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2018 Cincinnati<\/td><td>Round of 16<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>2-6 6-3 6-4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2018 Queen&rsquo;s Club<\/td><td>Round of 16<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>6-4 6-1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2016 Paris<\/td><td>Round of 16<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>4-6 6-2 6-3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2014 Beijing<\/td><td>Quarterfinal<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>6-2 6-4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2014 Wimbledon<\/td><td>Semifinal<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>6-4 3-6 7-6(2) 7-6(7)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2013 Roland Garros<\/td><td>Round of 32<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>6-2 6-2 6-3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2013 Madrid<\/td><td>Round of 32<\/td><td>Grigor Dimitrov<\/td><td>7-6(6) 6-7(8) 6-3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2013 Indian Wells<\/td><td>Round of 32<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>7-6(4) 6-1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2012 Shanghai<\/td><td>Round of 32<\/td><td>Novak Djokovic<\/td><td>6-3 6-2<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Novak Djokovic vs Grigor Dimitrov Titles Comparison<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Novak Djokovic<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Grigor Dimitrov<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>24<\/td><td>Grand Slams<\/td><td>0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>99<\/td><td>ATP Singles Titles<\/td><td>9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>ATP Doubles Titles<\/td><td>0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>40<\/td><td>Masters-1000 Titles<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>15<\/td><td>ATP-500 Titles<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gold (Paris 2024)<\/td><td>Olympics Best Performance<\/td><td>R2 (London 2012)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>Current World Ranking<\/td><td>15<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Novak Djokovic vs Grigor Dimitrov Miami Open 2025 Prediction<\/h2><p>If there&rsquo;s one man you never bet against on the big occasion, it is Novak Djokovic.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport. And if you\u2019re a fan of Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and\/or Stephen Curry - I\u2019m your guy. \u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sankalphk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sankalp-hk-660254215"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sankalp\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34210"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34213,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34210\/revisions\/34213"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
