Legendary Novak Djokovic equalled Roger Federer and Jimmy Connors to win 100 titles in the Open Era. Playing at the Geneva Open on Saturday, May 24, Djokovic battled from a set down to clinch his 100th tour-level title.

The Serbian star beat Polish sixth seed Hubert Hurkacz 5-7, 7-6(2), 7-6(2) in Geneva. He was already the 3rd highest title holder in the Open Era and now etched himself into an elite club which, till date, only belonged to Federer and Connors.

Connors tops the list with 109 titles to his name, while Federer, one of the all-time greats, has 103 titles to his name in the Open Era.

The title also ends Djokovic’s dry run in the tennis circuit. His last title came when he won gold at the Paris Olympics in 2024. The latest triumph comes at the perfect time as the record 24-time Grand Slam champion bids for a fourth crown at the French Open, which starts on Sunday, May 25.

Recently, Djokovic parted ways with coach Andy Murray after crashing out of the Madrid Open in the build-up to the Grand Slam. The move came after his first-round loss to Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi. He had said he would make a decision about his coaching setup after a few more tournaments.

It is going to be tough work for the legendary Serb at the French Open as he has been drawn in the same half as World No. 1 Jannik Sinner.
