Korda and Djokovic are on the Day 8 Schedule at Miami Open Presented By Itau 2025 on Wednesday 26 March 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the quarterfinal match, the number 24 seed, Sebastian Korda from the USA, will face off against the number 4 seed, Novak Djokovic from Serbia. Djokovic currently leads their head-to-head with a 1-0 record. Their previous encounter took place in Adelaide-1, Australia on a hardcourt surface, where Djokovic secured a hard-fought victory with a scoreline of 6-7(8), 7-6(3), 6-4, saving one match point.

Sebastian Korda, 24 years old and ranked at world number 25, achieved his career-high ranking of number 15 in August 2024. He joined his father, Petr Korda, who reached number 2 in 1998, as the only father-son duo in PIF ATP Rankings history to both rank inside the top 20. Korda has had notable wins throughout his career, defeating players like Daniil Medvedev (ranked number 3) at the 2023 Shanghai Masters and Alexander Zverev (ranked number 4) at the 2024 Montreal Masters.

Korda has also had success in winning titles. He did not drop a set on his way to winning the 2021 Parma title and went on to win the 2024 Washington title, which was previously won by his father in 1992. This made them the first father-son duo to win the same ATP Tour event. Korda has also made impressive runs in Grand Slam tournaments, reaching the fourth round in his debut at the 2020 Roland Garros and the 2021 Wimbledon.

Before turning professional, Korda was already making waves in the junior circuit. He became the World Number 1 junior player by winning the boys’ singles title at the 2018 Australian Open, following in his father’s footsteps who won the men’s singles title there 20 years prior. Tennis runs in the family, as his father reached number 2 on the ATP Tour, his mother, Regina, reached number 26 in the WTA, and his sister, Nelly, became the World Number 1 women’s golfer in 2021, while his other sister, Jessica, peaked at number 8 in women’s golf.

It is worth noting that Korda is looking to reach his third ATP Masters 1000 semifinal, following his previous appearances at the 2023 Shanghai Masters and the 2024 Montreal Masters. Korda has a record of 2-12 against top 5 players, with his two wins coming against Medvedev and Zverev during his previous semifinal runs. If Korda were to advance to the semifinals in Miami, he would be the youngest American male to do so since Andy Roddick, who achieved the feat at 21 years old in 2004.

On the other hand, Novak Djokovic, 37 years old and currently ranked at world number 5, has a remarkable career record. He is a 7-time Nitto ATP Finals champion and holds various ATP/WTA records, including the most weeks at number 1 (428) and the most years ended at number 1 (8). Djokovic has also achieved the most wins against top 10 players (260) and has finished in the top 5 for 16 out of the last 18 years.

Djokovic is the all-time leader for the most Grand Slam men’s singles titles in history, boasting 24 titles, including a record 10 Australian Open titles. He is also one of three men to hold all four Grand Slam championships at the same time. Djokovic stands out as the only player to have won all nine ATP Masters 1000 events multiple times, accumulating a record total of 40 titles in this series. Additionally, he holds records for the most Grand Slam match wins (382), the third-most men’s singles titles in the Open Era (99), and the third-most men’s singles wins in the Open Era (1,134).

With his recent gold medal win at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Djokovic joined Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal as the only men to have won all four Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal in singles. Djokovic also has positive head-to-head records against Roger Federer (27-23) and Nadal (31-29). He has achieved impressive win streaks, including his ATP Tour-record 43 consecutive victories from 2010 to 2011, ATP Masters 1000-record 31-match winning streak in 2011, and an Open Era-record 30 consecutive Grand Slam match wins from 2015 to 2016.

Notably, Djokovic is returning to Miami for the first time since 2019 and has reached his first quarterfinal at the event since winning the title in 2016. He will be aiming to reach his record-extending 79th ATP Masters 1000 semifinal and continue his unbeaten record in Miami quarterfinals, currently standing at 7-0. Djokovic made history at the tournament as the oldest quarterfinalist at 37 years and 10 months old.

In terms of previous Miami semifinal leaders, Andre Agassi leads with 10 semifinal appearances, followed by Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal, all with 7 semifinal appearances.
