PREVIEW | Geneva Open 2025 - Semifinals: High-voltage semifinals with Novak Djokovic and Hubert Hurkacz headlining

The 2025 Geneva Open semifinals promise world-class entertainment featuring two thrilling matchups. Britain's Cameron Norrie aims to upsed Novak Djokovic's quest for the 100th title. Hubert Hurkacz, keen on extending his good moment against a surprising Sebastian Ofner.

The Swiss tournament is getting closer to it's climax, with the final four players ready to jump on court on the semis to earn a spot in the decisive clash for the title.

The Geneva Open has become a key stop in the lead-up to Roland Garros, that's why a lot of elite players decide to play ir as a 'warm-up' for the second Grand Slam of the season, Roland Garros.

The first semi will see Poland's Hubert Hurkacz take on Austria's Sebastian Ofner in a duel of intriguing contrast. Hurkacz, a former world No.6, arrives to the tournament as a clear favorite. Standing at 1.96 meters (6',5"), the Polish has made a name for himself securing seven career titles, including the Miami Open and the Shanghai Masters, becoming the first Polish to do it in history. Hurkacz defeated Quentyn Halys and stunned world's No. 4, Taylor Fritz.

On the other side of the net will be standing Sebastian Ofner. The 29-year old Austrian has a more modest résumé, reaching Wimbledon's third round, where he stunned Brazil's Thomaz Belluci and world no. 18, Jack Sock. At Geneva, ofner shocked Nuno Borges and Karen Khachanov to earn his spot in the semis.
This two players have faced each other once at the Davis Cup, with Hurkacz taking control of that match.

The second semifinal features tennis legend Novak Djokovic taking on Britain’s Cameron Norrie in what promises to be a major test for both men. Djokovic, owner of a record 24 Grand Slam titles, stands alone atop men’s tennis history, having surpassed Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. He also holds the all-time record for most weeks at No. 1 in the ATP rankings with 428—an extraordinary testament to his dominance over more than a decade.

Djokovic’s absurd legacy includes being the first man in the Open Era to achieve a Double Career Grand Slam, winning each of the four majors at least twice. Also, his success at the Masters 1000 level is equally historic, with 40 titles to his name and being the only player ever to win all nine Masters events at least twice.

However, this season has seen Novak hitting a major bump in his career, failing to win a title since the 2024 Olympics, with several early round exits. In Switzerland, Nole has regained his confidence on clay after two heartbreaking losses in Madrid and Rome. Timing couldn't better, with Roland Garros just around the corner. After beating Fucsovics and Arnaldi, Djokovic goes against the British Cam Norrie.

Although traditionally stronger on hard courts, Norrie has improved significantly on slower surfaces, reaching the final in Lyon in 2021 and winning the title there in 2022. His calm demeanor and steady hand under pressure will be essential as he faces arguably the greatest player in tennis history. He reached the semis defeating Tomas Machac (who had to retire at the very beginning of the match, and Alexei Popyrin on Thursday.

This two players have faced each other on four ocations, all of them dominanted by Novak, who clearly emerges as the favorite to access the semis.
