List of records Novak Djokovic can break at Indian Wells Open 2025

Djokovic is a five-time Indian Wells champion.

The main draws of Indian Wells Open 2025 are set to begin on March 8, and Novak Djokovic has returned to the venue, intent on making history. A win would see him crowned the most successful player in Wales, where he currently shares the record with Roger Federer.

Injury issues and poor form remain the biggest concerns for the Serbian, who has competed in just three events so far in 2025. While he fared well at the Australian Open 2025, Djokovic was forced to forfeit his encounter mid-way against Alexander Zverev due to a muscle tear.

His comeback in Qatar was short-lived, as he fell to Matteo Berrettini in the first round. However, the five-time Indian Wells champion will hope to rediscover his form and embark on a glorious run in the desert. On that note, let’s take a look at the five milestones Novak Djokovic can accomplish at Indian Wells 2025.

100th career title

Novak Djokovic stands on the cusp of a monumental achievement, currently at 99 career titles. However, he has not won a title since the 2023 US Open, prolonging his wait for the historic 100th title.

If Novak Djokovic lifts the trophy next week, he will become only the third man in the Open Era to reach 100 career titles, joining Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer. Connors, with 109 titles, holds the record, and Djokovic may set his sights on surpassing this milestone.

Longest gap between titles at Indian Wells

Having last won in the desert in 2016, Novak Djokovic has not reached the Indian Wells final since. A triumph at the BNP Paribas Open 2025 would mark his first title at the event in nine years, the longest gap between two Indian Wells titles in tournament history.

Most ATP-1000 Masters titles in history

Novak Djokovic holds a record 40 ATP Masters 1000 titles and has the opportunity to extend his dominance. He is the only player to have won each Masters event at least twice and remains the sole holder of the Career Golden Masters, having triumphed at all nine ATP Masters tournaments during his career. The 24-time Grand Slam champion continues to set benchmarks that may stand the test of time.

Djokovic has spent over 400 weeks as the men’s singles World No. 1, holding the record for both men and women. Additionally, the Serbian leads the charts with 29 hard-court Masters titles, a record he continues to extend. With a new wave of rising talent, the seventh seed has a prime opportunity to further cement his legacy, making it even more challenging for future generations to surpass his achievements.

Oldest man to win the Australian Open

In 2017, at 35 years, 7 months, and 11 days, Roger Federer became the oldest-ever Indian Wells champion, defeating Stan Wawrinka in straight sets. However, at 37 years old, Novak Djokovic now has the chance to break this record.

Highest Indian Wells titles

Currently tied with Roger Federer for fifth place in terms of most titles in the desert, Djokovic can overtake the Swiss if he is successful in winning the 2025 edition. The Serbian reached his first final in 2007, followed by victory in 2008. Having completed a hat-trick of titles from 2014-16, Djokovic has failed to progress further since then.
