Congratulations extend unexpectedly to Boris Becker.
Novak Djokovic clinched his 100th career title in Geneva, bringing an end to a challenging season and boosting his confidence ahead of the French Open.

On social media, former coach Boris Becker congratulated Djokovic on a unique and emotional note. "Congratulations, darling!!! #100," Becker wrote, harking back to their shared history and mutual affection. Becker coached Djokovic for three years, and their bond remains strong.
Since the turn of the century, Djokovic has claimed at least one tournament every year. With 24 Grand Slam titles, the Serbian superstar is the record champion, surpassed only by Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103). Djokovic's journey began in the Netherlands, Amersfoort, 19 years ago.
Djokovic faced setbacks this season, including an injury-forced retirement in the Australian Open semifinals against Alexander Zverev and some early-round tournament losses. However, his win in Geneva has set the stage for a refreshed performance at the French Open, which commences this Sunday. In the first round at Stade Roland Garros, Djokovic will face American Mackenzie McDonald, with a potential quarterfinal clash against Zverev on the horizon.
