The expansion of the Miami final was backed for more than 5 hours, due to the heavy rain pouring into Hard Rock. When the rain stopped, Djokovic appeared on the field to practice practicing with coach Andy Murray. According to the image recorded by ESPN, Nole's right eye is swollen and he often has to use eye drops to fix.

In Miami this year, Djokovic must wear contact lenses due to unstable vision. According to Marca newspaper, this situation of Nole is worse if they have to play in the sun. According to the scheduled schedule, the expanded Miami final will take place at 15 pm (Miami time) with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and light sunshine. However, the rain caused the match to start at 20 o'clock, when it was darker and cooler.

Despite the more favorable competition, Djokovic could not overwhelm the teenage opponent Jakub Mensik. He experienced a difficult match, with many scores and struggling games. After more than two hours of competition, Djokovic lost 6-7 (4), 6-7 (4) and missed an appointment with the 100th ATP Tour title. He was somewhat exhausted at the end of the second set, especially the gambling and tie-break series. The 37 -year -old star breathed many times, even let go of the racquet lying on the yard because of his physical condition after the tense ball. On the other side of the grid, Mensik maintains good serve skills to create an advantage in tie-break and overcome Djokovic, who has the highest tie-break win rate of 66%.

Mensik is the second young man to win Miami, after Carlos Alcaraz in 2022. Djokovic misses the opportunity to become the oldest champion of Masters 1000, when there are two months, it is 38 years old. He has been blocked continuously in the recent major finals, under the hands of the opponents born in the 2000s, Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Mensik.

When Mensik was born in 2005, Djokovic was a player in the top 100 ATP. "Fighting these aggressive young guys," Djokovic joked in his speech at the Miami Awards.
