“Is There A Luckier Athlete Than Novak Djokovic?” – Fans React As Serb Wins 102nd Title At China Open After Alex de Minaur’s Retirement

Novak Djokovic secured his 102nd career title at the China Open, marking his seventh victory at the event and extending his undefeated streak there to 34 matches. The 39-year-old became the oldest ATP 500 champion in history after his opponent, Alex de Minaur, retired due to a groin injury while trailing 1-0 in the second set, following a 7-6(3) opening frame.

Djokovic reached the final by overcoming Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals and advancing past a disqualified Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals. During the trophy ceremony, the Serbian star acknowledged his challenging season and expressed gratitude toward his support team for their patience.

This win brings him within one title of matching Roger Federer for the second-most trophies in the Open Era.
