World No 1 Novak Djokovic has said he will return to the court at this month’s Miami Open having recuperated from a muscle tear suffered during his Australian Open title defence.
The 33-year-old Serbian suffered the injury during a third round match at Melbourne Park but that did not stop him from clinching a record-extending ninth Australian Open title and his 18th Grand Slam.

He will surpass Roger Federer’s all-time record for most weeks as ATP world No 1 on Monday, holding the top spot for the 311th week.
According to a partial schedule posted on his website Djokovic is entered for the ATP Masters 1,000 event on the hardcourts in Miami from March 22-April 4.
