The Serbian ace has won all four matches against Cameron Norrie, including one on clay court.
Chasing 100th career-title, Novak Djokovic would take on Cameron Norrie in the ATP Geneva Open 2025 semifinals. The 24-time major champion celebrated his 38th birthday by defeating Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets in the quarterfinal round. On the other hand, Cameron Norrie set his fifth date with the Serbian superstar after overcoming Alexei Popyrin 7-6 (8-6), 6-4.
The hunt for the title No. 100 continues in Geneva as Djokovic require two more wins to reach the iconic milestone ahead of Ronald Garros where he has been placed in same half alongside Sinner. The 38-year-old complete the revenge against Arnaldi, who beat him in the Madrid Open. Geneva Open is important for Djokovic to prepare for the second grand slam of the season.
The former No. 1 in ATP rankings is chasing his first title of the year which will be his 100th. If Novak wins the title, he will be the third man in history to win 100 ATP titles, after Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103). Last year, Djokovic lost to Tomas Machac in the semifinals of this event so pressure will be there on the 24-time Grand Slam champion.

Cameron Norrie dropped only one set in last five games in the Geneva Open. The British ace came through the qualifiers and made into the semifinals after a hard-fought victory over Alexei Popyrin. Norrie has struggled in the ongoing season and posted a 18-14 record. However, he went 11-5 on clay court which is best performance since 2023. He made into the quarterfinal of Monte-Carlo Masters which was their previous best performance this season. Norrie is on a five-game winning streak on clay but defeating Djokovic would be a toughest assignment for the British ace.
Novak Djokovic holds the edge in the ATP H2H matchups against Cameron Norrie. The Serbian ace has won all four matches against Cameron Norrie, including one on clay court. Their most famous game was played in 2022 Wimbledon semifinals when Norrie broke Djokovic three times to take the opening set 6-2 but eventually lost the game.
Djokovic vs Norrie also locked horns in last year’s Davis Cup finals when Serbian superstar overcame Norrie in straight sets to help his nation reach semifinals. Out of 10 sets, Djokovic has dropped only two sets against the British ace.

The Serbian ace would face a tough task of Cameron Norrie, who gave him a strong fight during the 2022 Wimbledon semifinals. The former British No. 1 is a counter-puncher with unorthodox ground-strokes. Clay-court battle would be a tough task for Norrie against Djokovic, who has been a top performer on this surface. The 24-time major champion had just one clay-court meeting with Norrie and won it in straight sets. With two consecutive wins, Djokovic is now 2-2 on clay court this year and he will surely have an upper hand over the British ace on Saturday.
Prediction: Djokovic to win in straight sets.
