On May 24, 2025, Novak Djokovic etched his name deeper into the annals of tennis history by securing his 100th career singles title at the Geneva Open. The 38-year-old Serbian maestro rallied past Hubert Hurkacz in a thrilling three-hour battle, winning 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (2). This milestone victory places Djokovic among an elite trio in the Open era, alongside Jimmy Connors (109 titles) and Roger Federer (103), as the only men to reach a century of tournament wins. Coming just days after his 38th birthday and ahead of the 2025 French Open, this triumph in Geneva—a city with personal significance due to family ties—underscores Djokovic’s relentless drive and enduring excellence.
The Geneva Open final was a classic Djokovic performance, marked by his trademark resilience and mental fortitude. After dropping the first set 5-7 to the powerful Hurkacz, Djokovic dug deep, winning two consecutive tiebreaks to clinch the title. Surrounded by family in the Swiss city, he expressed gratitude in his on-court interview, stating, “I’m just grateful to clinch the 100 here. I had to work for it, that is for sure.” This victory not only adds to his illustrious career but also signals strong form heading into Roland Garros, where he remains a formidable force despite a relatively challenging season by his lofty standards.
Djokovic’s career is a testament to consistency and versatility. He holds a record 24 Grand Slam titles, the only man to achieve a triple Career Grand Slam by winning each of the four majors at least three times. Additionally, he is the only player to hold all four major titles simultaneously across three different surfaces, a feat that highlights his adaptability. His record 40 ATP 1000 titles and the unique achievement of completing the Career Golden Masters—winning all nine ATP 1000 tournaments, a feat he accomplished twice—further cement his legacy. Add to that a record seven ATP Finals titles, including a streak of four consecutive wins from 2012 to 2015, and it’s clear why Djokovic is often hailed as one of the greatest of all time (GOAT).
Former player Jim Courier, commenting on Djokovic’s recent form, noted that this win could be a turning point after a season where the Serb faced uncharacteristic struggles. As the tennis world looks ahead to the French Open, Djokovic’s 100th title serves as a reminder of his unparalleled competitive spirit and ability to defy age and adversity.
