Djokovic Breezes to First Clay Win of 2025 in Geneva
No. 2 seed Novak Djokovic is back in business on clay. The Serbian legend secured a smooth 6-2, 6-3 win over Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics at the Gonet Geneva Open, marking his first clay-court victory of 2025.
After early exits in Monte-Carlo and Madrid, Djokovic returned to form in Switzerland. He controlled the match from start to finish, never faced a break point, and extended his perfect record to 6-0 against Fucsovics.
With his 38th birthday right around the corner, Djokovic is pushing toward a historic milestone—his 100th ATP Tour singles title. Next up? A quarterfinal clash against Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi, the No. 8 seed.
