Novak Djokovic has reached a historic milestone, claiming his 100th title in a stellar career that spans over two decades. The 38-year-old Serbian player achieved this feat after beating Hubert Hurkacz to win the Geneva Open on Saturday.
Djokovic’s journey to 100 began in July 2006, when he won his first ATP title at the age of 19. Since then, he has become one of the most successful tennis players in history, with an impressive record of 24 Grand Slam titles and 382 singles wins in the majors.
The Serb’s career is marked by numerous records and achievements, including being the only player to have won all nine Masters events and spending 428 weeks at the top of the ATP rankings. He has also won seven titles as a result of his dominant season in 2011, which ended with 10 trophies, including three of the four majors.
Djokovic’s rivalry with other tennis greats, such as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, has been one of the most compelling aspects of his career. The “Big Three” dominated the sport for over a decade, but Djokovic’s relentless drive and adaptability enabled him to stay at the top.
Despite struggling with mental energy during Olympic finals, Djokovic finally achieved his long-sought Olympic gold in Paris 2024. He also holds the distinction of being one of only five singles players to achieve the career “Golden Slam”.
With a record 10 Australian Open titles and seven wins at Wimbledon, Paris Masters, and ATP Finals, Djokovic’s all-court prowess has made him a formidable opponent on multiple surfaces.
As he looks ahead, Djokovic plans to focus on Grand Slams and pushing his limits. He stated that he thinks he can go toe-to-toe with the big guys, which suggests he will continue to compete at an elite level.
