Novak Djokovic finally wins 100th ATP title with victory over Hubert Hurkacz in Geneva Open final

Novak Djokovic made more tennis history on Saturday (24 May) by winning his 100th ATP title. He became only the third male player in the Open Era to do this after tennis legends Jimmy Connors (109 titles) and Roger Federer (103 titles). The 24-time Grand Slam winner reached this special milestone by beating Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in the final of the Geneva Open.

Djokovic creates history

It was a tough match, but the Serbian star came out on top with a score of 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (2). This victory came just two days after Djokovic turned 38. It was also his first tournament since parting ways with former coach and rival Andy Murray. Djokovic entered the Geneva Open with a dismal record for the season so far and had dropped to No. 6 in the world rankings.

However, Djokovic played some solid tennis in the Geneva Open, where he defeated Marton Fucsovics and Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets and then won a three-set battle against Cam Norrie to reach the final. Hurkacz gave Djokovic a tough time in the summit clash. He won the first set and stayed strong for most of the second.

But Djokovic showed why he is one of the greatest ever as he managed to make a comeback by raising his level in the tiebreaks to take the second and third sets and win the match. This is Djokovic’s first title since winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Reaching 100 ATP titles has come at the right time as he is slated to compete in Roland Garros from Monday onwards.

“Hubert was probably closer to the victory the entire match than I was. I don’t know how I broke his serve,” Djokovic said after the win.

He is the first man in the Open era to win a title in 20 different seasons.

Djokovic’s 100th singles title came nearly 19 years after the first in July 2006. That also was on clay, at Amersfoort in the Netherlands, against Nicolás Massú — the Chilean who now coaches Hurkacz.
