early life

Novak Djokovic was born on May 22, 1987 in the Serbian capital of Belgrade. There he grew up with his father Srdan, his mother Dijana and his younger brothers Dorde and Marko. Father and mother ran a family business that included a tennis school, sporting goods store and restaurants. Novak started playing tennis at the age of four while attending a tennis camp in Novi Sad. When he was six years old, he was spotted by Serbian tennis player and coach Jelena Gencic, who said of him: “This is the greatest talent I’ve seen since Monica Seles.” In the years that followed, Novak’s tennis games were made more difficult by the outbreak of the Yugoslav war. The family stayed in Belgrade during this time and often had to take refuge in basements during air raids. However, Novak often played tennis when the situation was largely safe. While Novak found the bombing frightening, it also fueled his resolve.

Career

In 1999, twelve-year-old Novak began attending the tennis academy of former Croatian tennis pro Nikola Pilic in Oberschleibischheim. He spent four years here before making his professional debut in 2003. In the period that followed, he made his breakthrough: In the juniors he moved into the semi-finals of the Australian Open in 2004. In the same year he won the first ATP Challenger tournament at the Lambertz Open in Aachen. The following year he reached the third round at both Wimbledon and the US Open. Novak continued to climb the world rankings, from 78th in 2005 to 16th in 2006. The following year he finished 3rd. That year (2007) he became the youngest player ever to win the Masters tournament in Miami and Reached his first Grand Slam final at the US Open, which he lost to Roger Federer.

Career highlights

In the aftermath, Novak’s career continued to climb and he achieved his greatest successes. In 2008 he won his first Grand Slam tournament at the Australian Open, which was to be followed by 15 more. He managed to win all four Grand Slam tournaments: the Australian Open seven times, the French Open once, Wimledon five times and the US Open three times. Only seven other tennis players managed to achieve this so-called career Grand Slam in men’s singles. In 2011, the first jump to the top of the world rankings takes place. He managed to finish 275 weeks and five years as number one: 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2018. So far, Novak Djokovic can look back on 77 titles won. Currently (as of 1/2020) the Serb is in second place in the world rankings.
