Will Lionel Messi be a good luck charm for the legend Novak Djokovic or newcomer Jakub Mensik in the 2025 Miami Open final?

Novak Djokovic had some company for another Miami Open victory. With Lionel Messi watching from a suite, Djokovic cruised into the Miami Open final by routing 14th-seeded Grigor Dimitrov 6-2, 6-3 on Friday at Hard Rock Stadium.
