JAKARTA – Novak Djokovic’s efforts to win the 100th ATP Tour title strengthened on Thursday, January 2, 2025, when the Serbian player defeated fellow veteran Gael Monfils 6-3 and 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals of Brisbane International 2025.
The 37-year-old, who wants to join Roger Federer (103) and Jimmyctions (199) as players who have reached the milestone, advanced in the first set after a break in the fourth game.
Djokovic then advanced again in the second set to extend his winning streak against the French player to 20-0, nearly two decades after their first meeting in the opening round of the 2005 US Open.
