Novak Djokovic continues to etch his name in the annals of tennis history.
The 38-year-old icon from Serbia clinched his 101st career title in Athens on Saturday, overcoming No. 2 seed Lorenzo Musetti with a scoreline of 4-6, 6-3, 7-5.
In the all-time career titles race, Djokovic stands behind only Jimmy Connors, who has 109 titles, and Roger Federer with 103. Impressively, he has secured championships across 20 different nations.
Achieving this victory at the age of 38 years and 5 months, Djokovic became the oldest ATP titleholder since 1990, breaking the record held by French player Gael Monfils, who was 38 years and 4 months old when he triumphed at the Auckland tournament in 2025.
Previously, Federer claimed the Basel title in 2019 at 38 years and 2 months.
With this latest win, Djokovic has extended his head-to-head record against Musetti to 9-1.
Djokovic improved to 9-1 against Musetti.
With this latest win, Felix Auger Aliassime qualifies for next week’s ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, while Musetti will end the year ranked at No. 9.
Djokovic has yet confirm his presence in the event but has qualified.
After it had been reported that the Serbian legend would play in the year-end event, Djokovic pumped the brakes on the story.
“I don’t know where he got that information from,” Djokovic said in Greece. “Definitely not from me or my team. I will decide at the end of this tournament.”
“He” in this case refers to the head of Italy’s tennis federation, Angelo Binaghi.
“We have confirmation that Djokovic will be in Turin,” Binaghi told Italian radio channel Rai Gr Parlamento on Monday, via The Independent.
