The title is also Djokovic's 72nd on-field title in his career, surpassing Roger Federer to become the player with the most titles on the court in the Open era. At the age of 38, Djokovic is also the oldest player to win an ATP tournament since the system was established in 1990.
The final lasted 3 hours with 5 times the 2 players lost the ball in the deciding set. Djokovic called it a physically tough match and praised Musetti for his resilient fighting spirit.
With this victory, Djokovic increased the head-to-head score against Musetti to 9-1. This year's tournament in Greece is also special as his younger brother, Djordje Djokovic, takes on the role of CEO.
Despite the defeat, Musetti was rewarded when Djokovic announced his withdrawal from the ATP Finals due to a shoulder injury right after the match. Thanks to that, the Italian tennis player officially won a place to replace Nole to participate in the tournament that gathers the 8 best tennis players of the year for the first time.
The ATP Finals 2025 will take place from November 9 to 16 in Turin (Italy), with a total maximum prize money for the champion reaching 5.07 million USD (about 123 billion VND) if they win all matches.
