Referee inspires \u0110okovi\u0107 to his 97th Masters quarterfinal, the hunt for his 100th title continues!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Novak \u0110okovi\u0107 defeated Lorenzo Musetti in the round of 16 at the Miami Masters in straight sets \u2013 6:2, 6:2. The greatest tennis player of all time will face Sebastian Korda in the quarterfinals, after Korda defeated Ga\u00ebl Monfils in the match preceding the Serbian-Italian showdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world\u2019s No. 5 put on an impressive performance, leaving his opponent little room to maneuver. There were plenty of breaks, but the outcome never seemed in doubt after Novak\u2019s argument with referee Fergus Murphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks \u0110okovi\u0107\u2019s first quarterfinal appearance in either Indian Wells or Miami since 2016. After nine years, he finally managed to defeat Lorenzo Musetti\u2014fueled by a moment of frustration with the referee\u2014which ignited his engine, awakened the beast, and made quick work of the Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is his 97th Masters quarterfinal, his eighth in Miami. Ladies and gentlemen, Novak \u0110okovi\u0107.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
