Novak Djokovic always has one more march, when things are going well, and when not, too. And this Thursday he remained firm at the Miami Open presented by Itau in his search for his seventh title in Florida and his trophy No. 100 in the circuit.

The Serbian beat Sebastian Korda 6-3 and 7-6 (4) in a quarter-final match postponed on Wednesday. With 37 years and 10 months, Djokovic is the Semifinalist of ATP Masters 1000 older in the history of the Catgoria (since 1990), surpassing Roger Federer, who reached the semifinals in Miami and Shanghai with 37 years and seven months in 2019.

“The whole tournament took very well … and I needed it. Because Seba was making me run in the second set. Today the serve took me out of the problems,” said the Serbian, who recovered from a 3-5 in the second manga with Korda serving for set. “Korda is a very talented player who presses you, takes time, but luckily I could go back,” he said.
