GENEVA (AP) — Novak Djokovic is one win from a 100th career singles title on the ATP tour after advancing to the final at the Geneva Open on Friday. The 24-time Grand Slam singles champion let a match-point chance slip in the second set before beating British qualifier Cameron Norrie 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-1 in their semifinal. Djokovic will play Hubert Hurkacz in the final on Saturday. The 31st-ranked Pole eased past Austrian qualifier Sebastian Ofner 6-3, 6-4. Djokovic already achieved his main aim in coming to Geneva, gaining match practice on clay before heading to Roland-Garros for the French Open that starts on Sunday. Wins on three straight days at the lakeside park event — including onhis 38th birthdayon Thursday — followed losing his opening match at both clay-court events last month in Monte Carlo and Madrid. Djokovic trailed 5-2 in the second set, then won three straight games and held a match point in the tiebreaker. He netted a service return and Norrie quickly forced a deciding set. An early service break in the third was backed by dominant serving and Djokovic closed out the semifinal on a rare sun-splashed court this week. ___ AP tennis:https://apnews.com/hub/tennis
