Novak Djokovic, born on May 22, 1987, in Belgrade, Serbia, is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Turned professional in 2003, Djokovic quickly climbed the ranks, showcasing a unique blend of defensive prowess, flexibility, and raw power. Known for his extraordinary backhand and return game, his career has been marked by record-breaking achievements and relentless determination.

By October 2023, Djokovic has amassed an impressive 24 Grand Slam singles titles, a record in the Open Era for men's tennis. He achieved a non-calendar year Grand Slam and a double Career Grand Slam, marking his supremacy on all surfaces. Djokovic also secured numerous ATP Tour titles ranging from Masters 1000s to ATP Finals, evidencing his dominance and consistency.

Djokovic has held the No.1 spot in the ATP rankings for a record number of weeks, reflecting his sustained excellence over a diverse and competitive field. His rivalries with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, often referred to as the "Big Three," have been central to tennis narratives in the 21st century, producing some of the sport's most thrilling matches.

Off the court, Novak has been actively involved in the professional tennis landscape, advocating for player welfare and governance through initiatives like the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), which he co-founded.

**Personal Life:**

Beyond his professional achievements, Novak Djokovic has a rich personal life. He comes from a close-knit Serbian family and started playing tennis at the age of four. His early training in Serbia laid the foundation for his extraordinary career.

In 2014, Djokovic married Jelena Ristić, his longtime girlfriend, and they have since welcomed two children, a son named Stefan and a daughter named Tara. The family maintains a strong connection to their Serbian roots, and Djokovic is known for his deep sense of national pride, often expressing gratitude for his upbringing and the support of his country.

Djokovic is also known for his philanthropy. He founded the Novak Djokovic Foundation in 2007, which focuses on early childhood education and development in Serbia. His charitable work, including numerous donations and initiatives, reflects his commitment to giving back to his community and improving lives.

Additionally, Djokovic is interested in wellness and nutrition, which is mirrored in his gluten-free diet and emphasis on holistic health approaches. An advocate for a healthy lifestyle, he has shared his insights and experiences in his book, “Serve to Win.”

Novak Djokovic continues to be a prominent figure not only in tennis but also in his humanitarian efforts and contributions to society.
