Novak Djokovic breaks the internet with his epic Hollywood-style celebration to winning historic 101st ATP title

Novak Djokovic's epic celebration after winning his 101st ATP Tour title at the Hellenic Championship last week has sent the internet into a frenzy. The Serb, with the win, became the oldest champ in the history of the ATP, as well as the third-oldest men's champion in the Open Era.

Djokovic, having won his 100th title earlier this year, lost only one set at the tournament, against Lorenzo Musetti in the final. The top seed beat the likes of Yannick Hanfmann and Nuno Borges on his way to the ATP 250 trophy, also his record-breaking 72nd on hardcourts.

Taking to social media afterwards, the 24-time Grand Slam champion shared a photo of himself surrounded by Dalmatian dogs, a reference to the iconic '101 Dalmatians' Hollywood movie by Disney that garnered immense critical acclaim.

"Couldn't celebrate 101 without some Dalmatians," Djokovic captioned the picture.

The post on X went viral immediately, garnering over 1.9 million views and more than 88,000 likes on the platform. Fans commented on the post expressing their joy at the celebration, utterly fascinated by the Serb's creativity.

"Bro has been thinking about this one for YEARS 😂" one fan wrote. "This is lowk iconic," another fan commented.

After winning the title in Athens, Djokovic was scheduled to play at the ATP Finals this week, but he withdrew at the last moment, allowing Musetti to play at the tournament instead.

Novak Djokovic will end the 2025 season with two titles -- the Geneva Open and the Hellenic Championship. In Geneva, he beat Hubert Hurkacz in the final to win his 100th ATP Tour title.

At the Grand Slams, Djokovic reached the semifinals at all four. At the Australian Open, he fell to eventual runner-up Alexander Zverev. At the French Open, he lost to eventual runner-up Jannik Sinner, while he lost to Sinner again at Wimbledon before the Italian won the title. At the US Open, he lost to the eventual champion once again, this time Carlos Alcaraz.

Djokovic is currently ranked World No. 4, but he could be overtaken in the year-end rankings if the likes of Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton make a deep run at the ATP Finals this week in Turin.
