Novak Djokovic continues to make history. The Serbian player, ranked number four in the world with the next ATP Ranking update, showed that he is still playing at a high level in a tournament as special to him as this 2025 ATP Athens, where he claimed his 101st title.

As expected, Novak Djokovic wasted no time in deciding not to participate in the 2025 ATP Finals despite his qualification, giving his spot to Lorenzo Musetti, whom he defeated in the final of the 2025 ATP Athens with a comeback included.

Novak Djokovic's Words to Lorenzo Musetti

"I don't know where to start," confessed Novak Djokovic in his speech as the champion of the 2025 ATP Athens. "Firstly, out of respect towards Lorenzo, for his performance both in today's final and throughout the entire week," said the Serbian about his opponent. "I would like to share a few words with you. At this level, we all know what it's like to play very tight matches and lose them. I know it's tough, an emotion hard to accept, but you can take pride in your incredible level of tennis.

We've faced each other many times on different surfaces, I know you play your best on clay, but your improvement on hard courts is incredible. Keep going because you're on the right path, a great future awaits you. It was an incredible battle... Three hours of an exhausting, physical match. Either of us could have won, so congratulations to Lorenzo for an amazing performance. I'm very proud to have achieved this."

"I want to take a moment to thank Greece for coming this week to support tennis. It's the first time in over thirty years that this level of men's tennis has come here, but this week it feels like it never stopped."

"I would like to thank my team, my family. It's been a very special week for me because my entire family is here, my best friends, my son is here, my brothers... Playing here feels like home. I also want to thank the tournament organizers."
