Novak Djokovic Nears 100th ATP Title
Djokovic's upcoming match against Hubert Hurkacz will be a crucial test of his skills and determination, and a victory would bring him closer to his goal of 100 ATP titles, while also boosting his confidence ahead of the French Open.
Novak Djokovic is one win away from securing his 100th ATP title after reaching the final of the Geneva Open with a hard-fought victory against Cameron Norrie in the semi-finals. Djokovic overcame a resilient Norrie in a 6-4 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 win and will now face Hubert Hurkacz in the final.
Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, is aiming to become only the third player to reach a century of ATP titles. He has shown significant improvement in the tournament, having not won a clay-court match this season before the Geneva Open. The Serbian player praised his opponent's skills but credited his own grit in the third set as the key to his win, calling it the best set of the tournament.
This will be Djokovic's second final of the year after the Miami Open, and a win could be a confidence booster ahead of the French Open, where he aims for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title. Djokovic will face Mackenzie McDonald in the first round at Roland Garros, starting on Sunday. A victory in the Geneva Open final would mark his first tournament victory since winning Olympic gold in Paris last summer.
As Djokovic prepares to face Hubert Hurkacz in the final, he is focused on securing his 100th ATP title and building momentum for the French Open. With his sights set on a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title, a win in the Geneva Open would be a significant step towards achieving his goal.
