Novak Djokovic's next match: Opponent, venue, live streaming, TV channel, and schedule | Indian Wells 2024, R2

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will take on Aleksandar Vukic in the second round of the 2024 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells on Saturday.

Djokovic previously competed at the Australian Open, where his title defense came to an end in the semifinals against Jannik Sinner with a four-set loss. He's now gearing up to make his first appearance at Indian Wells since 2019.

Given the vaccine mandate in the US over the last few years, Djokovic was ruled ineligible to compete here. With that not being a requirement anymore, he has arrived at the venue seeking his 41st Masters title.
