\u201cIt\u2019s a very pretty number, but 101 victories sounds better,\u201d Djokovic quipped after the match. \u201cI will continue to search for another victory, it\u2019s clearly not finished for me here. I\u2019m very honoured to make history in this sport, which has given me everything in my life.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With Monday's triumph, the three-time French Open champion joined Rafael Nadal, who has 112 wins at the event, as the only two players to record 100 victories at Roland Garros. Djokovic's win-loss record in Paris now stands at an impressive 100-16.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Djokovic was in complete control from the outset on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Against Norrie \u2014 a player he had defeated just two weeks earlier en route to the Geneva title \u2014 the Serbian neutralised the Brit\u2019s longer rallies and controlled the tempo with surgical precision. After an early exchange of breaks in the first set, Djokovic reeled off five of the next six games to take the lead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Norrie, aiming to reach his second Grand Slam quarter-final, adopted a more aggressive style in the second set, especially after Djokovic made a few uncharacteristic errors. However, Djokovic quickly recalibrated, showing off his signature depth and variety to regain command. Norrie\u2019s medical timeout for an apparent ankle issue while trailing 3-4 further tilted the momentum in Djokovic\u2019s favour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 24-time Grand Slam winner wrapped up the match in just two hours and 14 minutes, becoming the oldest men\u2019s singles quarterfinalist at Roland Garros since Istvan Gulyas in 1971. \u201cI feel good. I always have high expectations,\u201d Djokovic said. \u201cIn the end, it\u2019s 12 sets played, 12 sets won, so it\u2019s all positive and solid up until now.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
