Novak Djokovic is a Serbian professional tennis player who is currently ranked world No. 1 in men’s singles tennis by the Association of Tennis Professionals(ATP). Novak Djokovic was born on May 22, 1987 in Belgrade,. Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. His two younger brothers , Marko and Djordie, are also tennis players with professional aspiration.

When Novak was 2 and a half, the family moved to Mount Kopaonik. His parents, Srdian and Dijana, opened a restaurant there. There were tennis courts right in front of their restaurant. His father saw love in his eyes when Novak looked at the tennis courts, so he bought his son a colorful small racket with a soft foam ball. It soon became the most beloved toy in the boy’s life. He would rather play with it than anything else. One year later, he went to a tennis camp in Novi Sad. There he hit the same backhand at 4 as he hits today. In the summer of 1993, Novak was spotted by Yugoslav tennis player Jelena Gencic. Upon seeing Novak play tennis, she stated, “This is the greatest talent I have ever seen.” Gencic worked with young Novak over the following six years before realizing that, due to his rapid development, going abroad in search of increased level of competition was the best option for his future. To that end, in September 1999, the 12-year-old moved to a tennis academy in OberschleiBheim, Germany, spending four years there. At the age of 14, he began his international career, wining European championships in singles, doubles, and team competition.

Novak turned professional in 2003. By winning three Grand Slam titles in 2011, Novak became the sixth male player to win three majors in a calendar year. He repeated this achievement in 2015. In majors, Novak has won six Australian Open titles. He has also won three Wimbledon titles and two US Open titles. Besides, Novak is also a member of the “Champions for peace” club, a group of famous athletes committed to serving peace in the world through sport, created by Peace and Sport, a Monaco-based international organization. Novak is the first male player representing Serbia to win a Grand Slam singles title. The people of Serbia see Novak as their idol for how to succeed.
