While he may not have clinched a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam in 2025, Novak Djokovic made history on the ATP Tour this year. <\/strong><\/p>\n

At the Geneva Open in May, Djokovic secured his 100th tour-level crown<\/a>, defeating Hubert Hurkacz in the final of the clay court event. <\/p>\n

He became just the third man in history to tally a century of ATP<\/a> titles, following longtime rival Roger Federer<\/a> and the all-time leader, Jimmy Connors<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Connors became the first man in history to reach the 100 mark, doing so at the 1983 US Open, aged 31. <\/p>\n

The American went on to win nine more trophies before retiring, picking up his 109th and final title in Israel during the 1989 season. <\/p>\n

His incredible record still stands today, with Djokovic<\/a> the most likely candidate to break it. <\/p>\n

Patrick Mouratoglou discusses Jimmy Connor\u2019s ATP titles record<\/p>\n

The Serb\u2019s chances are slim in the eyes of Serena Williams<\/a>\u2018 former coach, Patrick Mouratoglou<\/a>, however, who does not think he will be the one to surpass Connors\u2019 tally. <\/p>\n

In a post on Instagram, Mouratoglou said: \u201cI think the record of Jimmy Connors will be beaten. Actually, two players are not that far.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, Roger [Federer] ended his career not so far from it, and Novak [Djokovic] is still playing and is not that far.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that Novak will beat it because he\u2019s focused only on the Grand Slams, which would mean he would have to win six or seven more Grand Slams.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to happen, so the record of Jimmy Connors will not be beaten soon, but I think one day it will be beaten.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot. It\u2019s a very, very high record, but I think some players in the future will win more than 109 titles in their career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of Djokovic and Federer, Rafael Nadal<\/a> and Ivan Lendl have come the closest to matching Connors\u2019 total, with 92 and 94 titles, respectively.<\/p>\n\nPlayer<\/td>\nATP titles<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJimmy Connors<\/td>\n109<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nRoger Federer<\/td>\n103<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nNovak Djokovic<\/td>\n100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nIvan Lendl<\/td>\n94<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nRafael Nadal<\/td>\n92<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Players with the most ATP titles in historyNovak Djokovic\u2019s upcoming chances to add to his title tally<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

In 2026, should Djokovic focus solely on Grand Slams, as is expected, it is unlikely he will break Connors\u2019 record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover While he may not have clinched a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam in 2025,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":319703,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[1479,14188,9125,62,1464,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-319702","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-atp","9":"tag-jimmy-connors","10":"tag-novak-djokovic","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115409002893806598","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
