Novak Djokovic reaches major career milestone, closes in on Roger Federer on all-time list

Novak Djokovic claimed the title at the Geneva Open, marking a major career milestone as he closes in on Roger Federer on the all-time titles list. With a hard-fought comeback victory over Hubert Hurkacz, the Serbian star secured another trophy and now shifts his focus to Roland Garros, the next Grand Slam on the calendar.

Djokovic’s run in Switzerland featured a standout performance in the final. After dropping the first set, he bounced back to win 2–1, taking the last two sets in tiebreaks. The win adds another chapter to his storied career.

With this triumph, Djokovic joins an elite group of players with 100 career titles, alongside Federer and Jimmy Connors, two of the sport’s all-time greats. He now sits just three titles behind Federer (103) on the all-time list, while Connors remains the record holder with 109.

While catching Connors remains uncertain, Djokovic continues to show the form needed to stay in the hunt. With plenty of tournaments to play this year, Djokovic can be even close, and why not, matching Federer’s milestone.

The Serbian star continues to build on his legendary career. With his latest triumph at the Geneva Open, Djokovic claimed his 13th ATP 250 title, adding yet another trophy to his already historic résumé. And with much of the season still ahead, there’s potential for even more success.

While the road won’t be easy, Djokovic enters the tournament with strong momentum from his Geneva win. His campaign begins with a first-round matchup against American Mackenzie McDonald, and the 24-time Grand Slam champion will be eager to prove he’s still the man to beat.
