Rinky Hijikata facing Novak Djokovic will be one of the most awaited clashes in the second round of the Miami Open. These two face off on Friday with the winner playing Camilo Ugo Carabelli or Alex Michelsen. Below we have a prediction for the match.
Hijikata saw off Hamad Medjedovic in three sets in the first round to set up his second ever meeting with Djokovic. The first one was in Brisbane in 2024 and he lost in straight sets.
As Djokovic hasn’t been at his best so far this season, Hijikata will be keen on getting his revenge. The Australian will be dragged back by the fact he comes here on a losing record, which currently stands at 8-10.
Djokovic makes his first appearance on the court since his second round defeat at Indian Wells. In his last two tournaments after reaching the Australian Open quarters, the Serbian fell at the first hurdle.
He arrives in Miami on a three-match losing run but will be looking to better his record here. The former world number one has won the Miami title six times and is bidding to become the record winner with one more title.
A 24-time Grand Slam titlist, Djokovic is ending his six-year exile from Miami and carries to the event a 7-4 record for the season.

Our Rinky Hijikata vs Novak Djokovic Prediction
Novak Djokovic remains the favorite here despite his struggles in the season. He lost each of his last three matches. Despite his profile, his highlight so far in the season has been getting to the Australian Open semi-final. At Miami, he will be looking to redeem himself following the poor start to the season he has had.
His opponent is a tricky one even though Hijikata’s season highlight is getting to the Adelaide quarter-finals. We expect Hijikata to win at least a set here. Our prediction for Rinky Hijikata v Novak Djokovic is for Djokovic to win in three sets.
