ATP roundup: Novak Djokovic gets milestone 100th win with Geneva victory

Djokovic Reaches 100 Career Wins with Geneva Open Title

Novak Djokovic became the third man in the Open Era to reach 100 tour-level career wins, surviving a three-set thriller against Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (2) at the Gonet Geneva Open in Switzerland on Saturday. The Serbian great, seeded second, needed three hours and five minutes to turn back the sixth-seeded Hurkacz and secure the clay-court ATP 250 event title. Djokovic notably rallied from being down 2-4 in the final set, breaking Hurkacz in the eighth game to get the match back on serve.

Djokovic prevailed despite 52 winners from Hurkacz, which included 19 aces. He now joins the elite group of Jimmy Connors (109 wins) and Roger Federer (103) to hit the century mark. It has been almost 20 years since the 38-year-old won his first tournament, a 2006 victory at Amersfoort in the Netherlands. This was Djokovic’s first title since winning the Paris Olympics in 2024, and he now has a victory in a record 20 different seasons. He will be going for his 25th Grand Slam title at the French Open, which begins Sunday in Paris, facing American Mackenzie McDonald in the first round.
