It's here! Djokovic has his 100th ATP title!!!

[Hitman]

He had to deal with so many obstacles including tough competition.

Djokovic should have reached 100 a long time ago because he had a relatively easy road ahead

You simply cannot do it without making a backhanded comment first, can you?

 

[RS]

Obviously a heck of a achievement. I don't think we should turn this into a fanwar zone either there is other threads for that.

 

[itrium84]

I would love him to get #25 and #110 (or at least #104), but we need to keep it real, he's almost certainly not gonna make it. It doesn't make his GOAThood worth any less.

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

Title #100 and counting.

So happy that Djokovic also has the record of winning a title for 20 years in a row. It just never felt right for Nadal to have that record.

 

[socallefty]

Congrats on hitting a century!

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Djoker is a different cat when his back is against the wall and the opportunity is there for the taking. This is where sinner and alcaraz need to hit the books and study if they want to be GOAT

 

[scotus]

Whose racquet is that? Is that a ti.radical?

 

[Djokovic2011]

That montage from BBC Sport is so amazing.

 

[scotus]

Congrats to him but it took him so long to reach 100

Connors reached 100 titles at the age 31, Federer at 37 despite plaques with injuries and post surgeries

Connors was super impressive.

 

[Bastion]

100% The Goat.

 

[GabeT]

Congrats to him but it took him so long to reach 100

Lol, sure, if Novak had played as many 250 and 500s as Fed he likely would have won 100 tournaments years ago.

 

[Rovesciarete]

Late to the party but heartfelt congrats for the fine win!

A huge achievement of Novak, a big joy for his fans and a great day in the annals of this sport!

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Congratulations man

 

[jackson vile]

Amazing!!!!

 

[Humphrey20133]

Vulturing at his age is pathetic. The day he finally retires will be a glorious one. Lol.

 

[messiahrobins]

He should focus on arriving at Wimbledon as rested as possible, otherwise he could be caught out there earlier than expected.

Just his body language and all his family there, i personally think maybe his body now telling him to retire.

 

[messiahrobins]

Connors is the GOAT.

Definitely strange that since June 22 and the Alcaraz domination at Wimbledon the last 2 years suddenly overall number of titles is now the metric! I do not recall any fuss made when Federer got 100, no idea where his 100th came at.

 

[messiahrobins]

Can't imagine him ever withdrawing from a Slam other than for health reasons.

I havent heard anything, so its not like other things where i was right having heard things (eg Sinner, and Djokovic at Rome), this is just a gut feeling i have. Hope im wrong as obviously Djokovic at the FO is good for the event.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Djoker already doing better since ditching Murray. Another lesson to the kiddies. Don’t hire a personal buddy to be your coach, don’t go into business with them either. Don’t let them represent you if you get in legal trouble

It should be strictly professional and business
And no personal attachment or intimate favors

 

[messiahrobins]

As soon as he fires Murray it gets better. Now he need to win 25 and 110. Both I think is theoretically doable. If he does this then even the biggest mental gymnastics cannot find anything of value which he doesn’t have. I don’t put too much stock into Connor’s 109 nor do I think it makes sense to compare Court’s 24 to Djoko’s but to shut even the dumbest critics down let him win those.

He is never getting close to another slam, and he knows it. Lets be brutally honest here, his legs have totally gone now. He struggled against out of form declining Norrie and Hurcacz. Djokovic's reaction at the end and his comments spoke volumes, and he i think knows its over at the slams.

 

[DSH]

The sooner the better, really.

Djokovic was majoring in the majors then. It only fair he starts stat padding in the smaller titles considering he leads your idol in most of the big titles won

 

[messiahrobins]

The sooner the better, really.

Oh i dont know....if he does go to Paris, the excuses when/if he loses will be popcorn worthy from some of his fanbase.

 

[messiahrobins]

He wasnt majoring the Majors though until his great rivals were off tour thats why i think he needs to be careful not to try and surpass Federer (its Federer he wants to beat not Connors btw as there is still personal stuff there i think) by playing events with weak fields. Not saying he vultured Geneva, it made sense for him to play there, but you get my point moving forward.

I will admit that these are the most likely tournaments he can win so he should try to vulture them. He managed it but still a very tough battle and he just got over the line.

He still has things to motivate him even if he can’t win a slam again. Another slam is unlikely but I will never rule it out 100% with him.

Think to lend credibility he would need to do it at events Sinner or Alcaraz are at, not every event but at least two of the remaining 10 at least.

 

[thrust]

I have a feeling he withdraws on Monday from FO. Just got this sneaky feeling.

Not a bad idea, save himself for Wimbledon.

 

[robow7]

Can he get 3 more ?

 

[NYTennisfan]

Missed the match but congrats to Novak, pretty incredible accomplishment especially considering the gauntlet of players he had to navigate the first half of his career in particular.
Also nice to Hurkacz back in form, he's a threat for the 2nd week of Wimbledon in this form.

 

[scotus]

Can he get 3 more ?

Yes

Coaching had nothing to do with Novak's win today. At Novak's near best he would beak Hubie, a player I do like, easily in two sets.

Djoker didn’t do jack under Murray. He was losing to every bum on the street corner that picked up a racket

 

[kishnabe]

Looks like he won some Ladies Australian Open Trophies as well.

 

[Mainad]

Here in the UK when someone reaches 100 they get a telegram from the King.

Will Novak now get a telegram from the President of Serbia?

If I were Andy I would call him to congratulate him but ask why he couldn't do that when he was coaching him (only a couple of weeks ago)??

Serbia has a crown prince and a royal family.

The presidency is a legacy of communism, a foreign body to the Serbs.

 

[Youngheart]

Just think of how much tennis string Djokovic has used for 100 tournaments.
If it was actually spaghetti, there would be enough to feed everyone in Gaza!!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

The guy only wins with tiebreakers, he's going to be very tired by the time he gets to RG, this isn't 2021 anymore.

At least he can still win an atp 250 at 38 unlike your idol

[sportsfan1]

The 100th at Rome would have been perfect.
Ducking out from Sinner at Rome isn't a good look.

 

[Fabresque]

And it's at least 1 title in 20 different seasons for the new record, breaking tie with Nadal at 19 (and all consecutuve too, which is also the record he shared with Nadal! In both of these he stands alone now!)

38 years old winning his 100th title and STILL breaking records. WOW.

 

[gamelovergold]

How big is the expectation from novak fans . And more bigger is the urge to criticise novak by not so novak fan.
At 38 years what he is supposed to do.
Any title at this age is bonus .
He has surpassed nadal in a great metric that is to win atleast 1 title for 20 years (nadal has 19 years record) .

 

[socallefty]

If I were Andy I would call him to congratulate him but ask why he couldn't do that when he was coaching him (only a couple of weeks ago)??

Here is a video of Murray coaching Djokovic - ‘Push it.’ I believe Dusan actually asked him to hit the ball this week.

Egg dumped Murray and then wins a title was Murray the problem after all ?

110 is too far. He has to cross fedrer. Maybe 4 small titles can be acheived. Master and slams are big fish.
