Novak Djokovici managed to victory with the number 100 at Roland Garros. Only Rafael Nadal is better than him in Paris
The success achieved today in front of the British Cameron Norrie (29 years and 81 ATP) gives Serbian Novak Djokovic (38 years and 6th place ATP), score 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, a place in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros and a round figure: 100 victories in Paris. Only Rafa Nadal has several successes on the slag on which the second big tower of the year is held, 112. Before coming to Paris, the Serb ticks the tournament with the number 100 won in the career.
Djokovic has “tame” the red surface, which is not his favorite
“99 victories are beautiful but 100 sounds better“, Novak Djokovic had said. Said and made. The Serbian champion, with his success in the finals against Cameron Norrie, reaches 100 victories in the French Grand Slam tournament, becoming the third player in history that goes beyond this monstrous stick in the four major tournaments.
The absolute record belongs to Rafael Nadal, 14 victories at Roland Garros, is proud of 112 matches won at the Grand Parisian Slam. The only one who has managed to overcome 100 victories in two Grand Slams is Swiss Roger Federer, 105 at Wimbledon (a record for the English tour) and 102 at the Australian Open.
Close to one hundred to AO and Wimbledon
Djokovic, however, has the opportunity to become the only one to reach this terminal in at least three Grand Slam. The former world number 1, in fact, besides reaching 100 at Roland Garros, is proud of 99 victories at the Australian Open (a tournament won 10 times) and 97 at Wimbledon (second in the general standings after Federer). Therefore, with a success in Melbourne in 2026 and reaching the quarterfinals in 2025 in London, the Serb would bring another record in its incredible career.
The leaders of the new generation have huge numbers
Djokovic already has the record of matches played in major tournaments (438) and won matches (386). The leaders of the new generation, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, are long ago, but they are not for nothing. The current world number 1 has a record of 71 matches won and 18 lost in the Grand Slam tournaments (79%, up to the finals against Andrey Rublev), with a very high percentage in Australia (22-4, won twice) while the Spaniard has 68 victories and only 13 defeats (83%), with a monstrous 22-4 sensational 18-2 at Wimbledon.
