Djokovic, ranked seventh on the planet, hopes to play each Indian Wells and Miami for the primary time in six years.
The carrot is the possibility of making extra historical past – at every occasion – by turning into the outright holder of essentially the most males’s titles.
Djokovic has gained a joint-record 5 Indian Wells titles alongside Roger Federer, whereas in Miami he has gained six titles – a report shared with Andre Agassi.
The previous world primary has not gained both match since 2016.
The 2 occasions weren’t held in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, whereas Djokovic pulled out once they returned in 2021.
In 2022 and 2023, Djokovic was unable to play as a result of he was not allowed into the US unvaccinated.
The previous world primary made his Indian Wells return final 12 months, struggling a shock defeat by Italian fortunate loser Luca Nardi, earlier than deciding to overlook the Miami Open for “private {and professional}” scheduling causes.
