Novak Djokovic’s quest for 100th title at Madrid
After a close miss at the Miami Open, 37-year-old Novak Djokovic is geared up to bag his 100th title at the Mutua Madrid Open this year. This will be the Serb’s 13th appearance at the tournament, having first competed in 2006. He has won it three times.
Even though he faced a first-round exit in Monte-Carlo earlier this month, Djokovic admitted to working on tying up his loose ends for the next tournament.
With Andy Murray on his coaching squad this season, he has been showcasing some promising performances throughout and will hope to deliver the same for this tournament and the rest of the clay swing as well.
