Novak Djokovic is back at the Madrid Open in 2025.
The world No 5 has played the event just once this decade, and will be making his first appearance since 2022 as he looks to round into clay-court form ahead of Roland Garros.
Here, we look at Djokovic’s history in Madrid and his potential pathway to what would be his 100th ATP Tour title.
Madrid Open success
Madrid has a hugely successful tournament for Djokovic, with the Serbian reaching three finals inside the Caja Magica – and winning all three of them.
He lifted the title for the first time during his dominant start to the 2011 season, downing ‘King of Clay’ and home favourite Rafael Nadal 7-5, 6-4 in the final.
Five years later, Djokovic regained the title with a three-set triumph over defending champion Andy Murray, before a third victory in 2019, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas.
His three titles at the tournament tie him with Roger Federer in joint-second for most wins since the event launched in 2002, though he sits outright second when it comes to titles on clay.
The tournament was held on indoor hard courts from 2002-08, with Federer having won his first title in 2006 before the switch to the dirt.
Djokovic’s three Madrid titles on clay are only bettered by Nadal, who triumphed four times following the change of surface in 2009, meaning the Serbian could tie the Spaniard’s record in 2025.
He has an overall win percentage of 76.9% in Madrid, though this rises to 80% if you only factor in his appearances since the switch to clay.
2025 pathway
Since winning his 99th tour title at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games last summer, all eyes have been on whether Djokovic can win a historic 100th title.
