Novak Djokovic has a message for all his competitors at the upcoming French Open at Roland Garros: He’s ready.
Djokovic had been mired in a bad slump until this past week, and so he made the choice to enter the Geneva Open as a wildcard.
Then, the tennis legend went on a run all the way to the tournament victory. Djokovic picked up a final victory over Hubert Hurkacz on Saturday by scores of 5-7, 7-6, 7-6.
It marked the 100th career tournament win of Djokovic’s career. He’s third all-time on that list behind Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103).

The Serbian star entered the tournament coming off three consecutive losses.
This was the first tournament title for Djokovic since winning gold at the Paris Olympics last year.
Djokovic only won 1-of-5 break point opportunities, but he pulled out both tiebreakers to win the match.
The all-time great is now 16-7 on the season.
He kicks off the French Open on Monday against Mackenzie McDonald.
