Novak Djokovic (34) wins in Rome 7: 5, 7: 6 (1) over Felix Auger-Aliassime (21). It is the 999th victory on the ATP tour for Djokovic.
“I think it was tennis at a high level,” says Djokovic, world number 1, following his victory over world number 9.
Djokovic’s 1000th win will soon follow
In the semifinals, Djokovic meets the Norwegian Casper Ruud, who prevailed once morest Denis Shapovalov (23) in the quarterfinals.
Djokovic might reach a milestone tomorrow – and celebrate the 1000th victory. That would make him the fifth to reach that mark, alongside Jimmy Connors (69), Ivan Lendl (62), Roger Federer (40) and Rafael Nadal (35). (eu)
