Djokovic notches milestone win at Roland Garros, sets Zverev clash

Novak Djokovic broke new ground Monday at Roland Garros, where he recorded 100 wins at a major event for the first time in his standout career.

The 38-year-old delivered a typically measured performance to dispatch Cameron Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 and reach the quarter-finals at the clay-court major for a 16th consecutive year. Djokovic, a three-time champion at Roland Garros, is just the second player to record 100 wins at the event after 14-time titlist Rafael Nadal (112).

“It’s a very pretty number, but 101 victories sounds better,” said Djokovic. “I will continue to search for another victory, it’s clearly not finished for me here. I’m very honoured to make history in this sport, which has given me everything in my life."

He is him.

After improving to 19-0 in fourth-round matches at Roland Garros, Djokovic set a quarter-final clash with third seed and last year’s runner-up Alexander Zverev. The Serbian leads Zverev 8-5 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series, having notably retired from their most recent meeting in the semi-finals at the Australian Open in January.

Having defeated Norrie en route to his 100th title in Geneva two weeks ago, Djokovic was aware of the obstacle that stood before him, and he started the quicker on Court Philippe-Chatrier. He nullified the Briton’s attempt to extend the rallies with ease, running away with a clinical opening set after the pair traded early breaks.

Aiming to reach the quarter-finals at a Grand Slam for the second time in his career, Norrie shifted to a more aggressive approach in the second set, which coincided with an error-strewn start from Djokovic. Yet the Serbian regrouped with a series of stunning winners and clever points at the net.

Norrie took a medical timeout to treat his left ankle before serving at 3-4 in the second, and it appeared to hamper his momentum further as Djokovic strengthened his grip on the encounter: He won eight of the final 10 games to seal a two-hour, 14-minute victory and become the oldest quarter-finalist at the event since 39-year-old Istvan Gulyas in 1971.

“I feel good. I always have high expectations, I know that I can always play better each day," added Djokovic. "But in the end, it’s 12 sets played, 12 sets won, so it’s all positive and solid up until now.”

The No. 6 in the PIF ATP Rankings, Djokovic is this week chasing a record 25th major title. He now owns an impressive 100-16 record at Roland Garros, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.
