World No. 1 Novak Djokovic Secures Sixth Indian Wells Masters Title After Five-Year Hiatus

Novak Djokovic, Tennis Superstar struggled to a winning comeback at the ATP-WTA Indian Wells Masters five years after his last appearance, defeating Aleksandar Vukic 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 on Saturday.
Novak Djokovic is going for his sixth win at the desert venue in the first Masters event of the season.
The world number one Djokovic has not played since losing in the semi-final of the Australian Open to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in January 2024.
The 36-year-old Serb became the first man to win 400 matches at the elite level, following Rafael Nadal, by winning his 400th career Masters match.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion, who won crowns in Cincinnati and Paris Bercy last season, has won 11 of his past 12 Masters matches.
He won the first set in 35 minutes with two service breaks, but against his 69th-ranked Australian opponent, he had to rally from a breakdown in the third.
Vukic held for 6-5 in the second set and landed a reflex service return winner on the line to square the match at a set each.
In the third top seed, Djokovic broke for a 3-2 edge and closed out victory with a second break after just over two hours, notching his 51st win at the tournament where he first competed in 2006.
