Two days after his 38th birthday, Djokovic managed to prevail in more than three hours of fighting in Switzerland.
Yet the amount of time spent on the court is not exactly ideal, since he is now going to Paris the French open First round on Tuesday.
Djokovic was stuck with 99 titles since his Parisian Olympic gold medal success in Roland Garros last August – one of his sporty milestones.

It has been a difficult year for the Belgrade Battler and the lifting of silverware is not something that he can now take as a matter of course.
Especially given the excellent competition with which he is confronted with the much younger Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
His clay season had been an underwhelming until this weekend, given that he had lost his opening matches in Monte Carlo and Madrid in straight sets before he finished the Italian open.
Djokovic won his first titles in 2006 and first succeeded in the inner hard courts of Metz and then on the Buitenklei van Amersfoort in Holland.
