GENEVA — Novak Djokovic advanced to the Geneva Open semi-finals on Thursday, marking his 38th birthday with a commanding performance at the Tennis Club de Genève.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion secured a straight-sets victory over Matteo Arnaldi, winning 6-4, 6-4 in challenging damp conditions. Djokovic’s win was a sweet revenge after his loss to Arnaldi earlier this year at the Madrid Masters in April. With this victory, Djokovic continues his strong form ahead of the French Open.
“It’s great to be in the semi-finals again. Hopefully, this year I can go at least one step further—that’s the goal,” Djokovic said after the match. “I think I’m playing really good tennis. A straight-sets win, but it was much closer than the score indicates.”
He also reflected on his mental and emotional state during the match, which he said helped him perform at his best. “After breaking my racquet, I found my optimal state and balance mentally and emotionally to play my best tennis when it was most needed,” Djokovic explained.
