The Serbian is hoping to eclipse Andre Agassi’s 6 ATP crowns in South Florida over the next week.
Novak Djokovic salutes the crowd after his match against Federico Delbonis in the 3rd round of the Miami Open.
The Serbian wasn’t happy with letting a 5-2 advantage slip in the first set and became furious with himself as the second squirmed from his grasp. “It was an exciting match and I am just pleased that I managed to hold my nerve,” Djokovic said. “I got down on myself and Federico started swinging.” Djokovic moved 5-2 ahead but after he missed a set point opportunity on the Delbonis serve, his game deserted him and suddenly, the South American had a spring in his step.
