Novak Djokovic Personal Information

Novak Djokovic's Early Life

At the age of four, Djokovic started playing tennis after receiving a mini-racket and a soft foam ball from his parents, who sent him to Novi Sad for a tennis camp. He also attended a tennis camp at Mount Kopaonik in the summer of 1993, when he was six. After six years of working with Djokovic, Jelena Gencic decided that it would be best for him in the future to go abroad in search of more intense competition because of his rapid improvement. As a result, she got in touch with Nikola Pilić, and the 12-year-old relocated to the Pilić tennis academy in Oberschleißheim, Germany, where he spent four years. At age 14, he began competing on a global scale and won singles, doubles, and team titles in Europe.

Djokovic won his first major at the 2008 Australian Open at just 20 years old, ending the reigns of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Together with Federer and Nadal, Djokovic became known as the "Big Three" in 2010 as he began to establish himself as one of the best players on tour. He defeated Nadal and Federer time and time again, winning numerous major tournaments and Masters championships, and in 2011, he attained the No. 1 ranking for the first time.

​

2015 is considered one of the best seasons in tennis history, with Djokovic making it to 15 straight finals, winning 11 of them. He won three Majors, six Masters titles, and even the year-end championships in 2015. In 2022, Djokovic's stance on the COVID-19 vaccine made him ineligible for several events, including the Australian Open and the US Open. Nevertheless, Djokovic made a triumphant comeback in 2023. At 37 years old, Novak Djokovic reached the final of all Majors this year, winning three. He lost in the Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz in five sets.
