Djokovic claims his 100th title, cementing an immortal legacy in tennis.

In the dazzling constellation of tennis, there are always moments that allow us to witness history being made—and to feel the profound power of the sporting spirit.

In the early hours of May 25, Beijing time, Novak Djokovic staged a thrilling three-hour, five-minute comeback in the ATP250 Geneva men's singles final, defeating Polish player Hubert Hurkacz 5:7, 7:6 (2), 7:6 (2) to clinch his 100th career title and proudly join the "100-Title Club."

The final match unfolded in a thrilling, roller-coaster fashion. In the first set, facing the powerful serve of Hurkacz, Djokovic struggled on his own service games and ultimately dropped the set 5-7.

In the second and deciding sets, Djokovic showcased his relentless determination, impeccable technique, and extraordinary mental strength, rallying twice in tight tie-breaks to complete stunning comebacks and ultimately lift the trophy.

Looking back on Djokovic's journey toward his 100th title, it has been marked by both hardship and relentless challenges. Though his dominance on the court has evolved with age, his burning desire for victory has never waned. After clinching his 99th title at the 2024 Paris Olympics, he endured nearly 10 months without a championship—during which he came agonizingly close seven times, falling just short of reaching that monumental milestone.

This year on the clay-court season, he surprisingly fell in the first round at both the Monte Carlo and Madrid Masters events. Yet, it was precisely these setbacks that made his eventual victory all the more precious. Rather than letting the challenges defeat him, he kept adjusting his game, rediscovered his form at the Geneva tournament, and steadily pushed through each match—ultimately culminating in this remarkable achievement.

Novak Djokovic’s 100 titles span a wide range of tournaments—Grand Slams, the ATP Finals, ATP 1000s, ATP 500s, and ATP 250s—making his achievements incredibly impressive and unmatched in terms of prestige. When you look closely at his legendary career, even just one of his remarkable accomplishments would leave other players far behind.

At Grand Slam tournaments, he has clinched an impressive 24 titles. In 2008, at just 20 years old, he claimed his first Australian Open title, kicking off a remarkable streak of Grand Slam triumphs. By 2016, he added the French Open crown to his collection, achieving the historic feat of winning all four majors in consecutive years—a milestone that cemented his status as a true Grand Slam legend. Then, in 2021, he went on to capture the men’s singles titles at the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon, becoming the first player in the Open Era to complete a "Career Grand Slam" twice over. Finally, in 2023, he secured another French Open victory, unlocking the "Triple-Career Grand Slam" achievement and cementing his place as the men’s tennis player with the most Grand Slam titles in history.

At the year-end finals, he claimed the top spot seven times. From his first victory in 2008 to his seventh title in 2022, he surpassed Federer to become the all-time leader in Finals championships, showcasing his unparalleled dominance as the season drew to a close.

At the ATP1000 Masters tournament, he holds 40 titles to his name. In August 2018, he clinched victory at the Cincinnati Masters for the first time, becoming the first player in history to win all nine Masters events—a remarkable feat known as the "Golden Masters." What’s more, he achieved this incredible milestone twice, cementing his status as a true legend of the Masters series.

Additionally, he boasts 15 ATP 500 titles, 13 ATP 250 titles, and one Olympic gold medal. He became the first player in the Open Era to achieve a career Grand Slam in singles, as well as the only one to complete the Career Golden Masters by winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 events.

At the Grand Slam tournament, he also secured his 370th career victory, surpassing both Federer and Nadal to set a historic record. From his first championship podium in 2006 all the way to his 100th title today, he has achieved the remarkable feat of clinching at least one tour-level title in each of the past 20 consecutive seasons—a milestone that puts him ahead of Nadal’s 19 seasons and Federer’s 18, cementing his place as the all-time leader in the Open Era.

Novak Djokovic’s remarkable achievements are not only a testament to his exceptional skills but also a direct result of his unwavering mental strength and relentless perseverance. On the court, no matter how daunting the challenges or intense the pressure, he remains calm and refuses to give up. It’s this indomitable fighting spirit, combined with his unyielding determination to triumph, that enables him to mount comeback after comeback—and even defy the odds to create true miracles. This extraordinary mindset isn’t just his secret weapon on the court; it’s also the very reason he has become a legendary figure in the world of tennis.

Today, the 38-year-old Djokovic has reached yet another pinnacle in his illustrious career. His milestone of 100 titles isn’t just the ultimate reward for his relentless dedication over the years—it’s also a testament to the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. Though time has left its mark on him, his legendary journey continues to unfold with unwavering brilliance.
