The Joker took his 100th title in Geneva against Hurkacz. The Pole played his usual blend of huge shots, but also of unforced errors. Unfortunately for him some came in the two tie breaks, but Novak also volleyed magnificently in the first.
Is the Joker back? Probably not, I doubt Alcaraz would have given him as many points at critical stages. But while he is not the player of 3 years ago, he is the best he has looked in a year. And should add interest to the French.
