Sure thing, here it goes:

PARIS — So, yeah, Novak Djokovic hit this wild milestone, right? His 100th win at the French Open, only outdone by Rafael Nadal among the dudes. Monday saw him hammer Cam Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 in the fourth round. I swear the score felt like it went by in a blink or maybe I zoned out. Happens, right?
Anyway, Djokovic is cruising to the quarters at Roland-Garros. Not even dropped a set. Three of his 24 Grand Slam titles are from here. You’d think he’d be tired, but nope! More energy than my second cup of morning coffee.
“Feeling good. Expectations going up every day,” he said. 12 sets, 12 wins—everything’s smooth. Meanwhile, I’m struggling with my Wi-Fi.
So, the guy’s 38 and had these streaks where he lost three matches in a row—twice. But in Geneva last week? Boom, title number 100. And, oh, he defeated Norrie there too. Man’s on a roll.
Norrie was like, “Solid dude, didn’t give me anything. Defended, served, returned, the whole shebang.” Sounds rough.
Next up, Djokovic faces No. 3 seed Alexander Zverev on Wednesday in a dance to the semis. Zverev didn’t even have to sweat much since Tallon Griekspoor bailed with a tummy ache, poor guy.
Zverev on Djokovic: “Knows his tennis, knows the big stage. No question.” Can’t help but nod in agreement.
Djokovic now sits at 100 wins and 16 losses at the French Open. Nadal, legend, retired last season but left with a jaw-dropping 112-4. Fourteen clay-court titles! Mind-blowing stats, really.
Oh, and Alexander Bublik—you know, No. 62? Totally surprised No. 5 Jack Draper with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win. Goes up against whoever wins between No. 1 Jannik Sinner or No. 17 Andrey Rublev. They’re slated for Monday night. Should be something. I’m curious, aren’t you?
