Novak Djokovic Looks to Make History at Roland Garros

Novak Djokovic is still waiting to win that elusive 25th major title, which would be an all-time tennis record. After capturing his 100th tour-level title in Geneva, a French Open championship looks more likely than it did just a few months ago.

Djokovic had a tough start to 2025. At the Australian Open, Djokovic retired from his semifinal match against Alexander Zverev due to injury. He took about a month break after the year’s first major and then returned to lose first-round matches at Doha and Indian Wells. The start of the clay season wasn’t much better for Djokovic, losing consecutive first-round matches at Monte Carlo and the Madrid Open before withdrawing from the Italian Open. He turned things around just before Roland Garros, winning the Geneva Open title, defeating Hubert Hurkacz in the final to do so.
