Novak Djokovic is on the brink of an extraordinary milestone at Roland Garros, as he chases his 100th career win at the French Open. The Serbian tennis legend, who secured his 99th victory in the third round against Filip Misolic, is now set to face Cameron Norrie in the fourth round, aiming to join Rafael Nadal as the only players to achieve 100 wins on the red clay of Paris.
Djokovic’s Road to 100 Wins at Roland Garros
- Third-Round Victory: Djokovic defeated Filip Misolic in straight sets (6-3, 6-4, 6-2) to reach the fourth round.
- Consistency Across Grand Slams: Djokovic has already achieved 99 wins at the Australian Open, along with 97 at Wimbledon and 90 at the US Open.
- Historic Chase Against Nadal: While Djokovic is nearing 100 wins, Nadal holds the all-time record with 112 victories at the French Open.
Fourth-Round Clash: Djokovic vs. Cameron Norrie
Djokovic will face Britain’s Cameron Norrie, who has reached the last-16 for the first time in his career. Norrie, who defeated Daniil Medvedev in the first round, has struggled against Djokovic in past encounters, losing all five previous matches, including their semi-final clash in Geneva last month.
Djokovic’s Statement on His Historic Chase
“I’m just hoping to carry on. Every time I step onto this court, I’m playing for history,” Djokovic said ahead of his fourth-round match.
Future Outlook and Legacy
If Djokovic secures his 100th win, he will further cement his status as one of the greatest clay-court players in history. However, surpassing Nadal’s 112-win record would require him to continue competing well into his 40s.
