Geneva: Novak Djokovic celebrated his 37th birthday on Wednesday with the 1,100th win of his career as he gears up for his French Open title defence, progressing to the Geneva quarter-finals.
The world number one downed Germany's Yannick Hanfmann 6-3, 6-3 in the second round at the Parc des Eaux-Vives grounds.
Djokovic becomes only the third man after Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer to reach the 1,100-win landmark.
Djokovic took a wild card to play in Geneva in a bid to rescue an alarming dip in form ahead of next week's French Open, the second Grand Slam of the year.
His record this year is now 13 wins and five defeats, and he has yet to reach a tournament final in 2024.
