Novak Djokovic secured his 100th career victory in a gripping match against Hubert Hurkacz at the Geneva Open, overcoming the Polish player in three sets. The match lasted over three hours, with Djokovic showcasing resilience by coming back from being down 2-4 in the final set. Despite Hurkacz hitting 52 winners, Djokovic's determination led him to victory. This win marks Djokovic's first title since 2024 and adds to his record of victories across 20 seasons. Djokovic now looks forward to competing for his 25th Grand Slam title at the upcoming French Open.
I had to work for it, that's for sure. Hubi was probably closer to victory [in] the entire match than I was, Djokovic said.
Incredible match, 7-6 in the third with a full stadium, beautiful atmosphere. I'm just grateful to clinch the 100th here.
Very few points decide the winner. I was just trying to hang in there, I don't know how I broke his serve.
I’ll be going for my 25th grand slam title at the French Open, which begins Sunday in Paris.
