Novak Djokovic etched his name deeper into the annals of tennis history today, clinching his 100th ATP Tour title at the 2025 Gonet Geneva Open with a hard-fought victory over Hubert Hurkacz.
The 38-year-old Serbian superstar became only the third man in the Open Era to reach this monumental milestone, joining legends Jimmy Connors (109 titles) and Roger Federer (103 titles).
The final match in Geneva was a rollercoaster, showcasing Djokovic’s trademark resilience and mental fortitude. Facing a formidable opponent in Hurkacz, who had been in fine form throughout the tournament, Djokovic battled through a thrilling three-set match, ultimately triumphing 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-3.

The victory marked his 143rd career final and his first title of the 2025 season, a year that had seen the former world No. 1 grapple with inconsistency following his Olympic gold medal win on clay at the 2024 Paris Games.
Djokovic’s journey to 100 titles is a testament to his unparalleled consistency and versatility across surfaces. According to ATP Tour statistics, his title haul includes 24 Grand Slams, 40 ATP Masters 1000 titles, and 7 ATP Finals, alongside a record-breaking Career Golden Masters—winning all nine ATP 1000 tournaments at least once, a feat he has achieved twice. His 100 titles break down to 53 on outdoor hard courts, 20 on clay (including this Geneva triumph), 19 on indoor hard courts, and 8 on grass, underlining his adaptability and dominance across all conditions.
The Geneva Open victory was particularly symbolic for Djokovic, who has a storied history on clay. With two French Open titles and 11 Masters 1000 titles on the surface, including Monte Carlo and Madrid, the Serb has proven time and again that his game transcends his hard-court dominance. This win also comes on the heels of a challenging season, where Djokovic faced early exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid and withdrew from the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. His decision to return to Geneva for the second consecutive year paid off spectacularly, as he knocked out Cameron Norrie in the semifinals (6-4, 6-7(6), 6-1) to set up the historic final.
Social media erupted with celebration as the ATP Tour announced the milestone on X, with fans and fellow players alike hailing Djokovic as the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time).
Djokovic’s 100th title also sparked discussions about his longevity and hunger for more. At 38, he shows no signs of slowing down, with fans already looking ahead to the French Open, where he aims to add to his Grand Slam tally.
Reflecting on the milestone, Djokovic expressed gratitude to his team and fans. “This is a very special moment for me,” he said in his post-match interview. “To reach 100 titles is something I dreamed of as a young boy in Serbia, and to do it here in Geneva, with my family watching, makes it even more meaningful. I’m not done yet—let’s see how far we can go.”
The tennis world now turns its attention to Roland Garros, where Djokovic will look to build on his Geneva success.
