"Winning the 100th title is certainly a great milestone." Djokovic rode on the momentum of Geneva's 100-career championship to Roland Garros in Paris, where he won in straight sets in just one hour and 58 minutes, and also managed to maintain a perfect first-round victory, and responded in French in an interview after the match: "I try to enjoy every moment on this very special and beautiful stadium, and it feels good because I relive the wonderful memories of last year's Paris Olympics." In August 2024, Djokovic won his first Olympic gold medal and completed the "Career Golden Slam" feat.

As the last man of the "Big Three" on the battlefield, Djokovic was inspired by his participation in the French Open on Sunday to pay tribute to Spain's "King of Clay" Nadal, "I also talked to Federer and Murray about their farewells, reminisced and reflected on their rivalry and of course, deep down I am proud that I am still standing there and moving forward. ”

The 38-year-old stressed with confidence that he had wanted to challenge for 25 Grand Slam titles, but after winning the title in Geneva, he felt confident and full of expectations for the French influence, Djokovic said: "I'm more optimistic, the fog has been cleared, and I want to keep this high level of focus and strive for the best results here." ”
