Novak Djokovic (6th, Serbia), the "King of Tennis," has achieved his 100th career victory in singles at the ATP Tour or higher level tournament. Djokovic defeated Hubert Hurkacic (5-7 7-6 <7-2> 7-6 <7-2> 7-6 <7-2> in the singles final on the last day of the ATP Tour Geneva Open tournament held in Geneva, Switzerland on the 25th (Korea time). With this, Djokovic won his 100th ATP Tour or higher level tournament singles trophy. He stood atop the podium for the first time in nine months since the gold medal at the Paris Olympics in August last year.

Djokovic is the third player to have won 100 singles in ATP Tour singles or higher. Jimmy Connors (109·U.S.) and Roger Federer (103·Switzerland) advanced to win 100. Connors set his first 100 titles in 1983 when he was 31 years old, and Federer set his first 100 wins in March 2019 when he was 37 years and seven months old. Djokovic, who celebrated his birthday two days ago, became the third player to achieve 100 wins at the age of 38. He also achieved another record. Djokovic has become the first player to win a major championship every season for 20 years since he was allowed to participate in major competitions in 1968. After winning his first ATP Tour title at the Dutch Open in July 2006, he has accumulated records every year since then. 카지노사이트

The victory is all the more valuable in that he has overcome his recent slump. Djokovic struggled from the beginning of this season. He withdrew from the semifinals at the Australian Open in January due to an injury, and was the runner-up at the Miami Open in March. He suffered a shocking first-round elimination in succession at the Monte Carlo Masters and Madrid Open last month. "I tried hard to win my 100th title, and I'm glad that I achieved this today," Djokovic said. "Actually, I was dragged around the whole game, but I don't know how he broke Hurkacic's serve."

He aims to win the Roland Garros Trophy (French Open), his second major competition of this season. If Djokovic wins the French Open, he can become the first both men and women to win 25 major  championships in a single.
