ATP Geneva: Novak Djokovic won his 100th career title with a thrilling reversal of Hurkacz

On May 24, local time, the 2025 ATP 250 Geneva station decided the men's singles champion. Serbian champion Novak Djokovic, the No.2 seed, and No.6 seed Hurkacz battled it out for three hours and five minutes to complete a 5-7, 7-6(2)/7-6(2) comeback to break the nine-month title drought that began last year's gold medal at the Paris Olympics and claim his 100th career ATP Tour title.

Djokovic won at least one tour singles title for the 20th consecutive season, becoming only the third male player in Open era history to exceed 100 career singles titles, after Connors (109) and Federer (103). Djokovic's 100 titles include men's singles gold medals at the Paris Olympics, 24 Grand Slam titles, seven ATP Finals titles, 40 ATP Masters titles, 15 ATP 500 titles and 13 ATP 250 titles, including 11 trophies in China (six China Open and five Shanghai Rolex Masters).

At the medal ceremony, the caddies of the tournament put up the word "100" in honor of Djokovic. Djokovic said of how it felt to win 100 titles: "I just tried to keep going, I don't know how to break Hurkacz's serve, it's a high-level game, it depends on the number of points. I'm grateful to have won my 100th Tour title here. ”
