Novak Djokovic celebrated his 37th birthday with a significant milestone, securing the 1,100th win of his career as he progresses to the Geneva quarter-finals in preparation for his French Open title defense.

Djokovic defeated Germany's Yannick Hanfmann 6-3, 6-3 in the second round at the Parc des Eaux-Vives grounds, becoming only the third man after Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer to reach the 1,100-win landmark. Djokovic took a wild card to play in Geneva to address a recent dip in form ahead of the French Open, where he aims to improve upon his current record of 13 wins and five defeats in 2024, having not reached a tournament final this year.

After beating Hanfmann, Djokovic was serenaded with "Happy Birthday" by the crowd, and a cake with candles was brought out onto the court. He expressed gratitude for the birthday wishes and the opportunity to spend quality time with his family in Geneva. In addition to Djokovic's success, second seed Casper Ruud and other players advanced to the quarter-finals in Geneva, setting the stage for exciting matchups in the upcoming rounds.
