cup1688 Former world number one Novak Djokovic became the third player to win 100 ATP Tour titles after defeating Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in the Geneva Open final on Saturday, May 24. cup1688
Djokovic, 38, was in Switzerland looking to build on his French Open form, coming from a set down to win 5-7, 7-6(7/2), 7-6(7/2) in three hours and five minutes
as the Serb joined Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer on the cusp of reaching 100 tour titles and his first since taking home gold at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
“Of course I had to work hard for it, he was probably closer than I was throughout the match, I had to fight to survive, this is what it is at this level, it’s decided by just a few points. I’m happy to reach my 100th title here.”
Djokovic had lost on clay before entering the tournament to Alejandro Tabilo in Monte Carlo and Matteo Arnaldi in Madrid, so he needs to build confidence as he seeks a 25th Grand Slam title. (cup1688)
