Novak Djokovic Wins 100th ATP Title, Rallies to Defeat Hubert Hurkacz in Geneva Final

Novak Djokovic won the 100th career ATP singles title of his illustrious career Saturday, beating Hubert Hurkacz 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (2), in the Geneva Open final.

With the victory, Djokovic moved within three titles of Roger Federer for second place on the all-time ATP championship list.

The Geneva Open was the first title of the season for Djokovic, marking significant progress for the 38-year-old veteran compared to his performance for much of the year.

Saturday marked only the second final of 2025 for Djokovic, and his first on clay during the lead-up to Roland-Garros.

After falling to Alexander Zverev in the Australian Open semifinals back in January, Djokovic hit the skids, losing in the first round of the Qatar Open and the second round at Indian Wells.

Djoker rebounded to reach the Miami Open final, however, 19-year-old Jakub Mensik beat him in straight sets.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion then focused his attention toward preparing for Roland Garros, but it couldn't have gotten off to a worse start, as he lost to Alejandro Tabilo in the second round of the Monte-Carlo Masters and to Matteo Arnaldi in the second round of the Madrid Open.

Since Djokovic will begin his quest for a fourth career Roland-Garros title this coming week when he faces Mackenzie McDonald in the first round, the Geneva Open represented his final opportunity to get into proper form on clay.

He beat Márton Fucsovics in straight sets in the second round and got revenge in the quarterfinals by taking down Arnaldi in straight sets as well.

After surviving Cameron Norrie in a three-set affair in the semis, Djokovic was faced with the No. 31-ranked player in the world in Hurkacz.

Djokovic dropped the first set, but he battled back in the second, winning the tiebreak 7-2 to force a decisive third set.

Nole was on the ropes after getting broken early in the third set, but he got his break back to tie the set at 4-4, setting the stage for a dramatic finish.

With momentum firmly on his side, Djokovic won his second consecutive tiebreak in the third set to secure his first-ever Geneva Open title.

Hitting triple digits in career ATP titles was a massive accomplishment, but entering the French Open on a high note may have been the even bigger win for Djokovic, who will look to win his first Grand Slam since the 2023 U.S. Open.
