An unforgettable final

An unforgettable final

The longest final in the history of the tournament for Novak Djokovic’s 100th title on the ATP Tour: this sunny Saturday, May 24th, at the enchanting site of Parc des Eaux-Vives will forever remain engraved in the memory of the fortunate ticket holders for the Central Court.
Novak Djokovic had to dig deep into his ultimate resources to win 5-7 7-6 (7/2) 7-6 (7/2) after 3 hours and 6 minutes against Hubert Hurkacz. He indeed faced near-defeat against the Pole, who led 4-2 in the third set. The pivotal moment in this final came with two fatal errors by Hubert Hurkacz in the eighth game of the last set: an unforced error on the first point and a double fault on the second. This opened the door for Novak Djokovic, who did not miss his chance to come back in this final.
Master of his domain in the decisive sets, Novak Djokovic concluded with his sixth ace to clinch this historic 100th title, his first in the year 2025. On the eve of Roland-Garros, he sent a strong message to his rivals. Even at 38 years old, he remains a contender for a Grand Slam victory

A near-miraculous title for Doumbia/Reboul

A near-miraculous title for Doumbia/Reboul

The men’s doubles final went to the French duo Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul, who defeated the pair formed by Uruguayan Ariel Behar and Belgian Joran Vliegen 6-7 (4/7) 6-4 11/9. This fifth title on the Tour for the two Toulousains is nothing short of a miracle, as they saved three consecutive match points in the Super tie-break. They had also saved a match point in their first-round match against Mexican Santiago Gonzalez and American Austin Krajicek. They are the first French players to have their names engraved on the doubles winners’ list of the Gonet Geneva Open.
This tenth edition of the Gonet Geneva Open achieved the anticipated popular success. With 37,442 people attending over the eight days of the tournament, a new attendance record was se

A Final for the History Books

Novak Djokovic has reached his final at the Gonet Geneva Open! It invites him to a date with history. This Saturday, if he wins against Hubert Hurkacz, the Serbian will claim the 100th title of his career. He will be the third player to reach this milestone of 100 tournament victories, after Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103). “This final means a lot to me,” he admits.

Under the returning sun, Novak Djokovic triumphed 6-4, 6-7 (6/8), 6-1 over Cameron Norrie (ATP 90). Even losing the second set despite having a match point at 6/5 in the tie-break did not stray him from his mission: to win his 100th title in Geneva and send a clear message to his rivals before the opening of Roland-Garros on Sunday.

Imperial in the third set, Novak Djokovic will play his 143rd final on Saturday at 3:00 PM, his second of the year after losing in Miami to Jakub Mensik. Like in Florida, he faces a formidable server in Hubert Hurkacz. But the numbers speak for themselves: seven wins in seven encounters.

Novak Djokovic will, however, remain on guard. Former world No. 6, Horst Hurkacz (ATP 31) has not dropped a set in four matches this week. On Saturday, he defeated Austrian qualifier Sebastian Orner (ATP 128) 6-3, 6-4 in just over an hour. Having already defeated top seed Taylor Fritz on Thursday, the Polish player will be aiming for his ninth title.

The sweet revenge of Novak Djokovic

The sweet revenge of Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic will again play a semi-final at the Gonet Geneva Open this Friday. Defeated last year by Tomas Machac, the man with 24 Grand Slam titles hopes for a different outcome this time. He will face Cameron Norrie (ATP 90), who, like Sebastian Ofner, also emerged from the qualifiers.
Novak Djokovic triumphed 6-4 6-4 against Matteo Arnaldi (ATP 39). Trailing 4-1 in the second set, he managed to turn the tables in the endgame to avenge his loss against the Italian who had defeated him last month in Madrid. After winning the match point, he celebrated his 38th birthday with a cake provided by the tournament organizers.
Driven by a supportive crowd, Novak Djokovic played similarly to his performance against Marton Fucsovics the day before. There’s a feeling that the Serb has managed to raise his game. As we know, he aims to make a big impact at the Gonet Geneva Open, aiming to win his 100th career title on Saturday and arrive in top form for Roland-Garros.
However, Novak Djokovic knows that the toughest challenges lie ahead. He approaches his semi-final against Cameron Norrie with extreme caution. The former world No. 8 left-handed Briton seems to have regained all his strength. His performance in the quarterfinals, which lasted almost until dawn against Alex Popyrin, was remarkable. Winning 7-6 (8/6) 6-4, he perfectly neutralized the power of the Australian

An Unexpected Semi-Final

An Unexpected Semi-Final

We didn’t sing in the rain, but we did play some serious tennis on the Centre Court at Parc des Eaux-Vives before night fell. Sebastian Ofner (ATP 128) and Hubert Hurkacz (ATP 31) defied the odds to face off Friday in the top-half semi-final.

Coming from the qualifiers, Sebastian Ofner won 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 against Karen Khachanov. The way he turned the match around was truly impressive. With his powerful forehand shots, the Austrian eventually wore down the Russian’s resistance to reach his fifth career semi-final on the ATP Tour. After undergoing left heel surgery last September, he confirmed at the Gonet Geneva Open the strong form he showed in Rome, where he won four matches, including one against Frances Tiafoe, before losing in the round of 16 to Francisco Cerundolo.

In Geneva, he can claim a sixth win since last Saturday in this semi-final against Hubert Hurkacz. The two players will meet again at Parc des Eaux-Vives… nine years after their first encounter in the first round of a Futures tournament in the Czech Republic, which Hubert Hurkacz won 6-2, 6-5. On Thursday, the Pole eliminated world no. 4 Taylor Fritz, also confirming his return to form, which began in Rome with a victory over Jakub Mensik. With a 6-3, 7-6 (7/5) win over the American, the former world no. 6 comes into this semi-final as the logical favorite. But he knows all too well that nothing can be taken for granted against that devilish Sebastian Ofner.
