It's worth noting that this clay court tournament has been a successful tournament for Djokovic. He has reached three finals in Madrid and won all of them. The star player first lifted the title in 2011, when he defeated his rival Rafael Nadal with a scoreline of 7-5, 6-4. His second title came when he defeated his current coach, Andy Murray, in the finals back in 2016 before outclassing Stefanos Tsitsipas in the summit clash in 2019.

The absence of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner bolsters Novak Djokovic's chances! Novak Djokovic won his 99th ATP title at the Paris Olympics in 2024. He defeated Carlos Alcaraz in a gold medal match. Since then he has been looking to mark a milestone. The Serbian ace did make it to the finals of the 2024 Shanghai Masters and the 2025 Miami Open finals but lost the summit clash. Who can be a possible threat to Djokovic? Surprisingly, Djokovic possesses a great chance to mark a victory here. Carlos Alcaraz, who was his biggest threat, has pulled out due to injury. On the other hand, world number one Jannik Sinner is still in his last days of the doping ban. The absence of Sinner and Carlos, who won two Grand Slams each in 2024, will be not here to compete. However, the 24-time Grand Slam champion needs to showcase his form against world number two Alexander Zverev, who has recently won the BMW Munich Open 2025. In addition, young players like Holger Rune, Jakub Mensik, and Jack Draper might pose a big threat to the 37-year-old tennis player. However, if Djokovic can overcome these players, yes, history will be witnessing Novak Djokovic claiming his 100th ATP title in the Mutua Madrid Open 2025.
