From winning iPods to Grand Slams - Djokovic's 100 titles
The Island
|May 27, 2025
Novak Djokovic continues to reach landmarks most players could only dream about.
-

On Saturday, the 38-year-old Serb claimed the 100th title of his stellar career after beating Poland's Hubert Hurkacz to win the Geneva Open.
Djokovic is only the third man after Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103) - to clock up the century in the Open era.
To mark his achievement, BBC listed key stories and numbers behind Djokovic's ton of trophies.
The journey from one to 100
In July 2006, there was little fanfare - outside of his native Serbia, at least - when a 19-year-old Djokovic landed his first ATP title.
A clay-court event in the Dutch city of Amersfoort was an understated setting for what became a launchpad towards greatness.
Djokovic, who was ranked 36th in the world at the time, overcame reigning Olympic champion Nicolas Massu in the final, with the Chilean noting the "spectacular potential" of his teenage opponent.
The new champion celebrated with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a silver-plated iPod in the other.
In April 2007, Djokovic won his first ATP Masters title by beating Argentina's Guillermo Canas in Miami and landed his first major with victory over France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the 2008 Australian Open final.
While he did not win another major for three years, the steady stream of titles continued.
Then came 2011 a season where Djokovic, backed by a more potent serve and greater endurance, took his game to greater heights.
Fuelled by a new gluten-free diet which he credits for transforming his career, he won his first 40 matches of the year and collected seven titles as a result.
The most successful year of his career ended with 10 trophies, including three of the four majors.
How Serb has become the greatest
For years, debate raged over who was the greatest men's player of all time.

When corruption crosses borders
Not far from the glittering skyline of downtown Toronto, in the leafy suburbs of Mississauga and Markham, stand rows of palatial homes — elegant, glass-fronted, and conspicuously quiet. To a casual visitor, these neighbourhoods look like any other prosperous corner of suburban Canada. But to Bangladeshis, they symbolise something far darker: a destination for the country's looted wealth.
