Djokovic Eyes Historic 100th ATP Title in Geneva Showdown vs. Hurkacz

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND — May 24, 2025 — Tennis icon Novak Djokovic is on the verge of another historic milestone: his 100th ATP title.

The Serbian superstar advanced to the final of the Gonet Geneva Open after a dramatic three-set semifinal win over Cameron Norrie, with a final score of 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-1. He will now face Hubert Hurkacz in the championship match set for Saturday afternoon.

If victorious, Djokovic will become only the third male player in tennis history to win 100 or more ATP singles titles, joining the elite company of Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103).

Birthday Victory and Comeback Motivation

Djokovic’s Geneva run is remarkable not just for its timing but for its significance. On May 22, the 24-time Grand Slam champion celebrated his 38th birthday by defeating Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi in the quarterfinals (6-4, 6-4), showing signs of his trademark resilience and precision—even after an emotional moment where he broke his racket in frustration.

While this marks Djokovic’s first appearance at the Geneva Open, his performance is being watched closely, especially as he uses the tournament as preparation for the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros.

What’s at Stake: Djokovic’s Road to 100

Reaching 143 career ATP finals, Djokovic has cemented his legacy in tennis, but the chase for the 100-title mark adds a layer of drama and meaning to the Geneva final.

According to Tennis.com, this potential milestone places him within arm’s reach of matching Federer’s legendary record—both in titles and in influence on the sport.

His Geneva journey also comes after some recent turbulence in his 2025 season, including:

  • Early exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid
  • A brief and now-ended coaching experiment with Andy Murray
  • Questions around his fitness and form ahead of Roland Garros

But Geneva is proving to be a reminder: never count Novak out.
