At which event did Djokovic earn his 1,100th career match win?

Djokovic earned his 1,100th career match win at the 2024 Geneva Open.

He reached the milestone on 22 May 2024, his 37th birthday, by defeating Germany's Yannick Hanfmann 6–3, 6–3 in the second round. The victory sent Djokovic into the quarter-finals of the ATP 250 tournament and made him only the third man in the Open Era to record 1,100 tour-level match wins.

The achievement placed him behind Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer on the Open Era wins list. Djokovic had entered the match with 1,099 tour-level victories, so the Geneva result was a precise statistical milestone rather than simply his 1,100th win in all forms of competitive tennis.

The event was also significant because Geneva was Djokovic's first appearance there. He was seeking match practice before defending his French Open title, and the birthday victory came after a rain interruption. A common mistake is to attribute the milestone to the French Open or Monte-Carlo Masters, but both took place at different stages of the 2024 season.
