Djokovic wins 101st career title in Athens

Paris: Novak Djokovic won the 101st title of his career when he came from behind to beat Lorenzo Musetti 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 in the final of the ATP event in Athens on Saturday.

The Serb is one of just three men to have racked up a century of titles - he still needs two to equal Roger Federer's 103 while Jimmy Connors heads the list with 109.

At 38 years and five months old, the 24-time Grand Slam winner is the oldest tournament winner since Australia's Ken Rosewall, who was 43 when he won in Hong Kong in 1977.


It was Djokovic's second title of 2025, having won on the clay of Geneva in May.

Musetti needed to win the title to secure the eighth and final place at next week's ATP Finals. His defeat means that the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime will feature in Turin instead.

Djokovic had long since qualified for Turin, but kept everyone guessing until earlier this week about his participation in the prestigious end-of-season tournament.
