Djokovic beats Norrie to join French Open century club

Three-times champion Novak Djokovic roared into the French Open quarter-finals by beating Briton Cameron Norrie 6-2 6-3 6-2 for his 100th match victory at Roland Garros on Monday to join Rafa Nadal in one of sport's most exclusive fraternities. The Serbian's determined performance ensured he became only the second man to win a century of matches at the Parisian Grand Slam following the retired Nadal (112), keeping him on track for a record 25th major at the site of his Olympic gold last year. It also made Roland Garros Djokovic's most successful Grand Slam in terms of match wins, bettering the 99 victories that he has at the Australian Open, although the 38-year-old has lifted the trophy a staggering 10 times at Melbourne Park. "It's a number which is very good and nice, but a 101st win is even better," Djokovic told the crowd in French. "It's not finished for me here the tournament and I feel very good and good to make history here. I hope there will be another win here in two days." By reaching the quarter-finals for the 16th straight year, Djokovic also became the oldest man entering the last eight at Roland Garros since 39-year-old Istvan Gulyas in 1971. Djokovic arrived in Paris having won his 100th tour-level trophy in an otherwise lacklustre year and has not dropped a set in the tournament so far to remind his much younger title rivals of his undiminished hunger for more milestones. He swapped breaks early on with Norrie in the first set but ran the 29-year-old ragged thereafter to win it before shrugging off another wobble on serve in a draining second set to pull away and double his advantage on Court Philippe Chatrier. "I feel good I have a lot of expectations from my game," added Djokovic, who earned his sixth win over Norrie in as many meetings after also powering past the left-hander en route to the Geneva title. "Every day I play better ... 12 sets played and 12 sets won. Everything is positive and solid at the moment." Djokovic broke to love in the third game of the third set after an unforced error by Norrie and the former world number one never looked back from there to book a last-eight meeting with German third seed Alexander Zverev. The last time the duo clashed was in the Australian Open semi-finals in January, when Djokovic had to retire injured, but he will now look to extend his 8-5 record over the German.

Djokovic Joins Nadal in Century Club

TDT | Manama Novak Djokovic's legacy at Roland Garros added another line of brilliance on Monday as the three-time champion powered past Britain's Cameron Norrie in straight sets — 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 — to record his 100th match victory at the French Open. In doing so, he joined Rafael Nadal as only the second man in history to reach a century of wins at the Paris Grand Slam. The milestone moment, achieved in typically clinical fashion, keeps Djokovic on course for an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title and reaffirms his status as one of the sport's most enduring forces, even at 38. New Century in Paris Nadal's 112-match win record at Roland Garros stands as one of the most iconic in tennis, and Djokovic has long chased the Spaniard's shadow on the red clay. Monday's win marks a new personal benchmark: Roland Garros is now officially Djokovic's most successful Slam in terms of matches won, nudging ahead of his 99 wins at the Australian Open — where he has lifted the trophy 10 times. Speaking to the French crowd after the match, Djokovic said, 'It's a number which is very good and nice, but a 101st win is even better. It's not finished for me here. I feel very good and good to make history here.' If his form so far is any indicator, that 101st win could arrive sooner than later. Vintage Novak Djokovic hasn't dropped a set through four rounds in Paris — a 12-set sweep that's showcased his trademark intensity and meticulous point construction. Against Norrie, the world No. 1 recovered from an early exchange of breaks to completely dominate proceedings on Court Philippe Chatrier. While Norrie, ranked 33rd, tried to disrupt Djokovic's rhythm with aggressive left-handed strokes, the Serb responded with unwavering court coverage and relentless depth. A break to love early in the third set after a Norrie error all but sealed the Briton's fate. 'I feel good, I have a lot of expectations from my game,' Djokovic said. 'Every day I play better... everything is positive and solid at the moment.' The victory extends Djokovic's perfect record against Norrie to 6–0, following a similarly one-sided win en route to the Geneva title in May. Quarter-Final Bound With the win, Djokovic advances to his 17th French Open quarter-final — and remarkably, his 16th in a row — becoming the oldest man to do so at Roland Garros since Istvan Gulyas in 1971. Next up: a clash with Germany's Alexander Zverev, the tournament's third seed. The pair last met in the Australian Open semi-finals earlier this year, a match Djokovic was forced to retire from due to injury. He currently leads their head-to-head 8–5. Given Djokovic's form, fitness, and fire, the Parisian crowd can expect a marquee battle. Still Hungry Despite a year that has otherwise lacked the dominance typically associated with Djokovic — albeit one that still included a 100th ATP title — the Serb's form in Paris is peaking at the right time. His movement, shot selection, and mental sharpness appear undiminished, sending a message to the younger field that his era is far from over. With history in sight and Nadal watching from retirement, Djokovic's 2025 French Open campaign is building into something special — another chapter in a career already defined by records, resilience, and relentless ambition.

Djokovic into record 19th quarter-final

AFP | Paris Novak Djokovic eased into a record-breaking 19th Roland Garros quarter-final with a comfortable straight-sets victory over Cameron Norrie yesterday. The three-time French Open champion will renew his rivalry with third seed Alexander Zverev in the last eight on Wednesday after seeing off Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 on Court Philippe Chatrier. His tally of 19 quarter-final appearances at Roland Garros is the record for a single Grand Slam tournament. 'I feel good. I know I can play better. But 12 sets played, 12 sets won, it's been solid so far,' said the 38-year-old after his 100th French Open win. 'It's great, but victory number 101 would be better. I'm very honoured... But I need to continue now.' Djokovic holds an 8-5 winning record in his head-to-head with German Zverev, but retired injured from their last meeting in the Australian Open semi-finals in January. Britain's Norrie, a former top10 player now ranked 81st, has lost all six of his career matches against Djokovic. The Serb, hoping to set a new outright record of 25 Grand Slam titles this week, dominated from the start. He broke serve three times in a one-sided opening set, before battling through a closer second, crucially saving a break point before holding for a 3-2 lead. Norrie, playing in the second week in Paris for the first time, mustered little resistance in the third set as Djokovic wrapped up victory on his first match point. French world number 361 Lois Boisson sent shockwaves through Roland Garros yesterday by knocking out third seed Jessica Pegula to become the first home quarter-finalist since 2017, with Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva also reaching the last eight. Boisson, 22, came from a set down against last year's US Open runner-up as the wild - card recipient completed an improbable 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 win to prolong her dream run on her Grand Slam debut. She is the first French singles quarter-finalist in Paris since Caroline Garica and Kristina Mladenovic made it to the same stage eight years ago. Mary Pierce was the tournament's last French champion in 2000. 'I really don't know what to say,' said Boisson, who was roared on by the home fans on Court Philippe Chatrier. 'To play on this court with such an atmosphere was incredible. I was confident before the match and knew I could do it even if she was really strong. 'I gave everything I had and it worked, it's incredible.' Boisson missed last year's French Open after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee a week before it started. She goes on to face 18-yearold Russian rising star Andreeva on Wednesday for a place in the semi-finals. Sixth seed Andreeva moved through in straight sets as she cut short an attempted fightback by Daria Kasatkina to advance 6-3, 7-5. 'It was a hell of a match,' said Andreeva. 'Honestly I'm so so happy I won, I hate playing against her, we practise a lot and even practice is a torture for me.' Andr eva is through to her second major quarter-final, having reached the last four at Roland Garros 12 months ago when she knocked out Aryna Sabalenka. World number two Gauff brushed Russian 20th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova aside 6-0, 7-5 to step up her pursuit of a first Roland Garros crown, and second Grand Slam title. 'It was tough. The whole match I think I played well to be honest,' said Gauff, a losing finalist in Paris in 2022. Former US Open champion Gauff will play reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys in an all-American quarter-final. Eighth-ranked Keys saw off unseeded compatriot Hailey Baptiste 6-3, 7-5. Alexander Zverev took his place in the men's quarter-finals when Dutch opponent Tallon Griekspoor retired with an abdominal injury while trailing 6-4, 3-0. The German third seed is still hunting a first Grand Slam title. He lost last year's final to Carlos Alcaraz and then finished runner-up to Jannik Sinner in Melbourne.

Alexander Bublik took down his second top-10 rival in Paris as the rejuvenated Kazakh came from a set behind to defeat British fifth seed Jack Draper 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. Bublik, ranked 62nd, is into his first Grand Slam quarter-final and awaits the winner of the night session match between world number one Sinner and Andrey Rublev.
