Novak Djokovic reached a remarkable milestone with his dominant straight-set win against Cameron Norrie at the 2025 French Open.
The Serbian icon cruised to a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 victory over world No 81 Norrie in the last 16 at the Paris Grand Slam.
Djokovic broke seven times en route to improving his head-to-head record against the 29-year-old Brit to 6-0.
In his on-court interview, Djokovic said: “I feel good. I expect each day to play better and better. I’ve played 12 really good, solid sets so far. Everything is looking good.”
Asked about reaching 100 wins at Roland Garros, the former world No 1 added: “It’s a good number, a happy number for me. But the 101st victory is the most important (laughs).
“It’s another victory but it’s obviously not finished here for me. I’m happy to add to the history of this sport that has given me so much. I hope there will be another win in a couple of days.”
The No 6 seed has progressed to the quarter-finals without dropping a set in his four dominant wins.
The 24-time major champion will face world No 3 Alexander Zverev in a quarter-final blockbuster. Zverev was leading Tallon Griekspoor 6-4, 3-0 in his fourth round match when the Dutchman was forced to retire.
