Novak Djokovic and Jakub Mensik have only met once before, with Djokovic winning in three sets in the Shanghai quarter-finals late last year.

The Czech teenager, 19, is playing in his first ATP Masters 1000 title and, at 54 in the world, is the third-lowest ranked finalist in the tournament’s history.

He defeated Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals and defeated Britain’s Jack Draper, the Indian Wells champion and World No 7, in the opening round.

Ahead of facing Djokovic, he said: “It feels incredible. For me it was a dream to play against [Djokovic] in Shanghai. For now it’s a bit different. I am a better player now and I’m going to enjoy and it’s going to be really exciting.”

An imperious Aryna Sabalenka made it third time lucky in big finals in 2025 as she swept aside fourth seed Jessica Pegula to claim the Miami Open title for the first time.

Sabalenka lost out to Madison Keys in the Australian Open decider and teenager Mirra Andreeva at Indian Wells two weeks ago but proved too strong for the American in Florida and capped off a brilliant week in which she did not drop a set.

Djokovic on his pursuit of his 100th title.

“Ever since I won my 99th, which was the Olympic Games in Paris, I’ve been playing with the prospect of winning the special hundred titles

“I played finals of Shanghai. I was close there. Semi-finals of Australia. Then been trying to find that necessary and much-needed level of tennis that will put me in a position to fight for a trophy, a big trophy.

“That’s what I’ve been doing this week. I’ve been very happy with the way I prepared for the tournament, the way I’ve been playing. I haven’t dropped a set. It’s a great opportunity.”

Djokovic has been ‘stuck’ on 99 career titles since defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the Olympics final in July.

Djokovic reached the Shanghai final a couple of month later but was defeated by Jannik Sinner.

He also reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open at the start of the year but retired after a set against Alexander Zverev.

As Novak Djokovic bids to win his 100th title in the Miami Open final, he is looking to become just the third man to reach that landmark.

Roger Federer won his 100th title at the age of 37 in March 2019 – defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Dubai final – and he would finish on 103.

He joined American Jimmy Connors in the 100-club, although it looks like Connors overall record of 109 will be safe for some time.
