Novak Djokovic (6th, Serbia) has built a gold tower to win 100 singles at the ATP Tour or higher level tournament.
Djokovic won 2-1 (5-7, 7-6<7-2> and 7-6<7-2>) after a neck-and-neck race of 3 hours and 6 minutes in the final day of the ATP Tour Geneva Open (566,35 euros in total prize money) held in Geneva, Switzerland on the 24th (local time).
Djokovic won the gold medal again in nine months after winning his 100th ATP Tour singles trophy in August last year. The prize money for this competition is 90,675 euros.
Djokovic is the third player to win the ATP Tour singles 100 times after Jimmy Connors (109, USA) and Roger Federer (103, Switzerland).
After winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics, Djokovic reached the final at the Shanghai Masters in October last year and the Miami Open in March this year, but finished the tournament as the runner-up.
Djokovic became the first player to win every season in 20 years since 1968, when professional players were allowed to compete in major competitions.
After winning his first ATP Tour victory at the Dutch Open in July 2006, he has since announced his victory every year.
Nicolas Masu (Chile), the first winner, is now the coach of Hurkaci, who was the final winner.
Djokovic, who succeeded in turning the tables after being dragged to a game score of 2-4 in the third set, said, "I've worked hard to win my 100th championship, and I'm happy to achieve it like this today," adding, "In fact, I was dragged around the whole game, but I don't know how I broke Hurkacic's serve." 안전놀이터
Djokovic celebrated his 38th birthday two days ago, and Connors, who had 100 wins before Djokovic, set his first 100th career record in 1983 when he was 31. Federer claimed his 100th career title in March 2019, when he was 37 years and seven months old.
Djokovic will immediately move to Paris, France, and play in the French Open, his second major tournament of the season, which will kick off on the 25th.
If Djokovic wins the French Open, he will become the first man and woman to win 25 major tournament singles.
Djokovic is scheduled to play the first round against Mackenzie McDonald (99th, USA) on the 26th local date.
