Novak Djokovic and Sebastian Korda’s quarter-final clash at the Miami Open presented by Itau has been postponed until Thursday, the tournament announced.
In accordance with ATP rules that do not allow for a match to go on court after 11 p.m., the second Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting between Djokovic and Korda will now be the second match from 3 p.m. local time Thursday.
All of tonight’s ticket holders can purchase a ticket for tomorrow afternoon, Session 19 for $10. Those tickets can be purchased through a link that will be emailed to tonight’s ticket holders.
The 37-year-old Djokovic is three victories from a record-breaking seventh Miami trophy. Should he capture his first title at the hard-court event since winning at Crandon Park in 2016, it would also mark Djokovic’s 100th tour-level crown. Korda, 24, will aim for his third Masters 1000 semi-final.
Also in quarter-final action Thursday, Arthur Fils faces Jakub Mensik in what will be their second Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting. Two of the brightest young stars in the sport, the 20-year-old Fils beat Mensik in round-robin action at last year’s Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF.
Fils booked his place in the last eight by earning the biggest win of his career by PIF ATP Ranking, upsetting World No. 2 Alexander Zverev 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Last year’s finalist Grigor Dimitrov advanced after saving a match point, defeating Francisco Cerundolo 6-7(6), 6-4, 7-6(3).
Watch Highlights from Fils’ victory over top seed Zverev:
Third-seeded American Taylor Fritz will test his perfect 4-0 record against Italian Matteo Berrettini under the lights at Hard Rock Stadium.
