Novak Djokovic achieved a very complicated comeback to claim his 101st trophy by winning the ATP Athens 2025. The Serbian player, ranked 5th in the world, was able to celebrate this feat with his team and part of his family after defeating Lorenzo Musetti with a score of 4-6, 6-3, and 7-5 in 2 hours and 59 minutes of a match full of spectacle.

Both dressed in green, Novak and Lorenzo took to a court filled with an incredible atmosphere. Equality prevailed in Athens from the first exchanges, although the Italian didn't hesitate to showcase his elegant one-handed backhand, leaving everyone present amazed.

Such was the intensity that the break came in favor of a supremely focused Lorenzo. Musetti lacked a cape because he reached every ball, however impossible it seemed, like a superhero, also impressing his opponent from across the net. Although the Serbian avoided bigger troubles, Lorenzo did not ease off, performing flawlessly from the baseline and at the net.

Despite Djokovic tightening the screws in the most tense moments, Musetti managed to withstand the world number five in that first set with a very serious display, which also put him one step closer to confirming his qualification for the ATP Finals 2025 in Turin.

Showing superpowers in the second set was an extraordinary Novak who, despite the pressure being on Musetti's side, delivered his best tennis to leave the Greeks astonished with a tremendous show. Responding to absolutely everything with astonishing perfection, the Serbian pushed the match to a third set.

Despite improvements to his backhand, Lorenzo couldn't stop a fearless Djokovic from elongating points to find winners on the lines. Rising on the opposite end, Musetti seized a hard-earned opportunity to earn an extra life in the battle for the Greek tournament title.

Djokovic Restores Order in Chaos

The ups and downs on both sides and fatigue from long games took a toll on both Lorenzo and Novak, although Djokovic played with the advantage of having a break up his sleeve. While he didn't maintain that ace permanently, Lorenzo also made too many mistakes at inopportune moments, allowing chaos to rule in the final stretch of the battle. With all that and more, Nole made that final sprint to confirm his triumph, his 101st title.
