href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Djokovic<\/a> pulled out of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Miami citing a shoulder injury on Sunday \u2014 three days before the start of the men\u2019s event.<\/p>\n<p>The 38-year-old Serbian has won six Miami Open titles \u2014 a men\u2019s record he shares with Andre Agassi \u2014 while he was a runner-up at last year\u2019s edition of the event.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-time Grand Slam champion was beaten in three sets by Jack Draper in Indian Wells last week.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic, who is ranked fourth, has played a limited schedule outside of the four majors in the latter stages of his career. In 2025, Djokovic played just five of the nine Masters 1000 events.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his\u00a0Served podcast, Roddick took issue with those who have reacted negatively to Djokovic\u2019s decision to skip Miami.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNovak pulls out of Miami. Not much of a surprise,\u201d the 2003 US Open champion began.\u00a0\u201cHere\u2019s what annoys me in this scenario. He was gone, gone. It would have been a miracle if he played Miami.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-miami-open-2026-withdrawal-martina-navratilova\"><strong>Novak Djokovic\u2019s Miami Open withdrawal leaves Martina Navratilova concerned for one reason<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/atp-rankings-race-to-turin-jannik-sinner-daniil-medvedev-overtake-novak-djokovic-carlos-alcaraz\"><strong>ATP Rankings Race To Turin: Sinner and Medvedev overtake Djokovic and close gap to Alcaraz<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

I\u2019m not chasing the number one ranking, I\u2019m here for majors, I\u2019m proving new success rates with longevity at this age, I will prioritise my family, I want to see my kids grow up\u2019 \u2013 everyone goes, \u2018Man, that\u2019s great, that\u2019s absolutely what you should do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then a certain sect of people\u2026 he pulls out of Miami and [they say]: \u2018He\u2019s pulling out of Miami!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, those are the same thing. That\u2019s the exact same conversation. Doing all of the things that he has talked about for the last 18 months is this decision. It\u2019s this exact decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSitting around and going to Miami and training and doing practice sets and doing the whole thing? No. Your next tournament is in Monte Carlo. Guess who\u2019s going to be in Monte Carlo? I\u2019ll bet you a dollar. His family. Those are the exact same conversations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you understand the macro conversation about something, you can\u2019t be upset about the micro-decisions that lead to that macro view. It\u2019s dumb, it makes no sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s gone. He\u2019s not going to to spend two weeks training. He doesn\u2019t need to win Miami. He\u2019s Novak.
