The greatest tennis player of all time will play for his 100th trophy - on Saturday at 15 pm, Novak Djokovic will try to do against Hubert Hurkač what he failed to do two and a half months ago in Miami, when he was defeated in the final by the young Czech Jakub Menšik.
The Geneva clay court, against the more experienced Hurkač, in a preparation tournament for Roland Garros, might be a better opportunity...
"The hundredth title will come, I don't know when, but I know it will come," Djokovic said in an interview with Vijesti in February.
Is Saturday, May 24th, that day?
In any case, Djokovic advanced to the 143rd final of his career, after defeating Briton Cameron Norrie in three sets - 6:4, 6:7, 6:1.
More than reaching the final and the opportunity to fight for a hundred, Djokovic's fans are excited about his return to rhythm and form ahead of the two upcoming Grand Slams, Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
Djokovic, as the culmination of the season approaches, has shown again that he can do it whenever he wants...
There were, of course, some downfalls in the game, Djokovic lost serve in the second set, managed to return it, but then made three unforced errors in the tie-break after match point, giving Nori the set.
However, he made up for it in the third set, in which there was no doubt - he immediately took a 3:0 lead, then confirmed the difference in class with another break.
Hurkač previously defeated Austrian Ofner in two sets (6:3, 6:4).
