Novak Djokovic is on the edge of achieving a milestone, so great that it’s been highly anticipated for a long time. He’s on the verge of becoming the third man in the Open Era to reach 100 ATP singles titles. He’s currently playing at the Geneva Open 2025, and all eyes are on this Serbian legend to see if he can finally break through after months of anticipation and join Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer in this elite club.
He reached the semi-finals of the tournament, which are scheduled to take place today, on 25 May, and it will be interesting to see if he can beat Cameron Norrie to reach the finals.
Novak Djokovic’s 99th Title
Djokovic’s other title came at the Paris Olympics 2024, where he defeated Carlos Alcaraz to secure the gold medal and complete his collection of all major tennis honours.
Since then, he’s been chasing his 100th title, coming close at the Shanghai Masters and Miami Open, where he lost to Jannik Sinner and Jakub Mensik. This dry spell has added extra pressure and anticipation to his 2025 campaign.

Why Is He Playing At The Geneva Open 2025
Novak Djokovic was offered a wild card entry to the Geneva Open 2025, and his decision to accept it is a strategic move. He’s currently seeded second at the tournament, and playing the tournament ensures practice before the upcoming grand slam, the French Open 2025.
It will also be easier for him to win at the Geneva Open 2025 since it’s classified as an ATP 250 event where less experienced players participate to gain career points and practice.
He himself admitted that he is in a “transition period” and is looking to rebuild his confidence to win the upcoming Grand Slam. He said, “I’m proud of everything I’ve achieved in my career, but I still have the desire to do everything I can to reach my best level so I can win Grand Slam tournaments and beat the best players in the world. That’s why I’m here. I want more trophies, I want to build my form ahead of the French Open.”

Focus On The French Open 2025
Regardless of the outcome in Geneva, his main focus remains the French Open 2025, where he’s chasing another record of 25 grand slam titles. He will open his campaign on 25 May 2025 against MacKenzie McDonald and could face manageable opponents in the early rounds, reaching later stages.
Whether Novak Djokovic claims his 100th title at the Geneva Open 2025 or in the upcoming French Open 2025, it will etch his name in history as one of the greatest players in the sport.
