Djokovic Roland Garros Records: A Historic Milestone in the Making 🎾
Achieving a Novak Djokovic Milestone in 2025
May 30, 2025
Novak Djokovic is on the brink of cementing his legacy in tennis as he advances to the third round of Roland Garros. With a remarkable record of 98-16 at the tournament, Djokovic is poised to break new ground. Most importantly, this could be a pivotal moment in his illustrious career as he chases his 25th Grand Slam title and aims for his 99th match win at Roland Garros.
Fresh from winning his 100th tour-level trophy in Geneva, the 38-year-old continues to defy age and expectations. A victory against Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic on Saturday would equal his highest win count at any Grand Slam event, showcasing his relentless pursuit of excellence.
“History has given me everything in my life,” Djokovic reflected after defeating Mackenzie McDonald in the first round. “I always strive to make history whenever I can, whether it’s in practice, matches, or especially during the biggest tournaments. The opportunity to create more history is a major motivation for me to continue improving.”
Djokovic Grand Slam Titles Chase: The Road to Records
| Event | Wins-Losses | Titles |
|---|---|---|
| Australian Open | 99-10 | 10 |
| Roland Garros | 98-16 | 3 |
| Wimbledon | 97-12 | 7 |
| US Open | 90-14 | 4 |
According to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, Djokovic’s most wins currently come from the Australian Open, where he is a 10-time champion. However, he stands on the verge of surpassing 100 wins at a major event for the first time at Roland Garros, having triumphed in 2016, 2021, and 2023.
A win over Misolic would set Djokovic up against either Jacob Fearnley or Cameron Norrie for his 100th victory at the clay-court Slam. This potential milestone underscores Djokovic’s relentless quest for greatness. Moreover, his seeded quarter-final clash with Alexander Zverev, last year’s finalist, adds another layer of excitement. Notably, Djokovic leads 8-5 in their head-to-head encounters, with their last meeting ending with Djokovic retiring in the semi-finals at the Australian Open in January.
Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal’s Roland Garros records stand at an impressive 112 wins. Yet, Djokovic is closing in on surpassing the win records of his fellow ‘Big Three’ legends, including Roger Federer, who holds the Australian Open record at 102 wins, and Wimbledon at 105 wins. Therefore, Djokovic’s potential to rewrite history is tantalizingly close.
