Follow us on Google Discover While he may not have clinched a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam in 2025, Novak Djokovic made history on the ATP Tour this year.
At the Geneva Open in May, Djokovic secured his 100th tour-level crown, defeating Hubert Hurkacz in the final of the clay court event.
He became just the third man in history to tally a century of ATP titles, following longtime rival Roger Federer and the all-time leader, Jimmy Connors.
Connors became the first man in history to reach the 100 mark, doing so at the 1983 US Open, aged 31.

The American went on to win nine more trophies before retiring, picking up his 109th and final title in Israel during the 1989 season.
His incredible record still stands today, with Djokovic the most likely candidate to break it.
Patrick Mouratoglou discusses Jimmy Connor’s ATP titles record
The Serb’s chances are slim in the eyes of Serena Williams‘ former coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, however, who does not think he will be the one to surpass Connors’ tally.
In a post on Instagram, Mouratoglou said: “I think the record of Jimmy Connors will be beaten. Actually, two players are not that far.
“I mean, Roger [Federer] ended his career not so far from it, and Novak [Djokovic] is still playing and is not that far.
“I don’t think that Novak will beat it because he’s focused only on the Grand Slams, which would mean he would have to win six or seven more Grand Slams.
“I don’t think it’s going to happen, so the record of Jimmy Connors will not be beaten soon, but I think one day it will be beaten.
“It’s a lot. It’s a very, very high record, but I think some players in the future will win more than 109 titles in their career.”
Outside of Djokovic and Federer, Rafael Nadal and Ivan Lendl have come the closest to matching Connors’ total, with 92 and 94 titles, respectively.

While the challenge of winning titles will only get tougher the older Djokovic gets, the 38-year-old still has a couple of opportunities to add to his trophy cabinet in 2025.
His next chance will come at the new-look ATP 250 event in Athens, relocated from Belgrade and set to take place in early November.
Djokovic has only confirmed his availability for Athens as of now, but the 24-major champion has qualified for the ATP Finals in Turin, where he is capable of fighting for the title.
In 2026, should Djokovic focus solely on Grand Slams, as is expected, it is unlikely he will break Connors’ record.
