He is of paternal Serbian and maternal Croatian descent.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a> His two younger brothers, <a href="/facts/Marko_%25C4%2590okovi%25C4%2587/JtxwErkG">Marko</a> and <a href="/facts/Djordje_Djokovic/mjPNVc4D">Djordje</a>, have also played professional tennis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a>
Djokovic began playing tennis at the age of four,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> after his parents gave him a mini-racket and a soft foam ball, which his father said became "the most beloved toy in his life".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> His parents then sent him to a tennis camp in <a href="/facts/Novi_Sad/g5F2natr">Novi Sad</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a> In the summer of 1993, as a six-year-old, he was sent to a tennis camp organized by the <a href="/facts/Teniski_Klub_Partizan/Kg1C4Hxa">Teniski Klub Partizan</a> and overseen by Yugoslav tennis player <a href="/facts/Jelena_Gen%25C4%258Di%25C4%2587/Ubw2BjaA">Jelena Genčić</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a> at <a href="/facts/Kopaonik/KemfdDWF">Mount Kopaonik</a>, where Djokovic's parents ran a fast-food parlour.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> Genčić worked with Djokovic over the following six years, convincing him to hit his backhand with two hands instead of the single hand used by his idol, <a href="/facts/Pete_Sampras/0f2yoJnf">Pete Sampras</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> Djokovic has credited Genčić for "shaping my mind as a human being, but also as a professional".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a>
During the <a href="/facts/Yugoslav_Wars/CUoVQ6Y9">Yugoslav Wars</a> in the late 1990s, Serbia had to endure <a href="/facts/Sanctions_against_Yugoslavia/bp7GBEEU">embargoes</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a> and <a href="/facts/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia/QscqBsCW">NATO bombings</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a> because of the <a href="/facts/Kosovo_War/54xPuVXC">Kosovo War</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a> At one point Djokovic had to train inside a disused swimming pool converted into a tennis court.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a> Due to his rapid development, Genčić contacted <a href="/facts/Nikola_Pili%25C4%2587/0y7Kdaaf">Nikola Pilić</a> and in September 1999 Djokovic moved to the Pilić tennis academy in <a href="/facts/Oberschlei%25C3%259Fheim/bPal37pD">Oberschleißheim</a>, Germany, spending four years there.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> Pilić made him serve against a wall for several months to improve his technique, and he had him working with a rubber exercise band for a year to improve flexibility in his wrist.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a> One of the players he trained with at the Niki Pilić academy was future world No. 10 <a href="/facts/Ernests_Gulbis/0BNtKJus">Ernests Gulbis</a>, with whom he allegedly had a fiery rivalry.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a>
His father also took him to train at academies in the United States, Italy, and Germany.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> Because of the high cost of traveling and training his father took out high-interest loans to help pay for his son's tennis education, putting Djokovic under immense pressure to deliver.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> He believes the impact this had on him could be the reason behind his prowess under pressure.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a>
He met his future wife, Jelena Ristić, in high school, and began dating her in 2005.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a> The two became engaged in September 2013,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a> and on 10 July 2014 the couple were married on Montenegro's <a href="/facts/Sveti_Stefan/Tt7PPHAl">Sveti Stefan</a> island, in the Church of <a href="/facts/Saint_Stephen/jTn9nQXR">Saint Stephen</a> (<a href="/facts/Serbian_language/quNDpTCd">Serbian</a>: Црква Светог Архиђакона Стефана).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a> He and Ristić had their first child, a boy, in October 2014.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a> Their daughter was born in 2017.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a>
Djokovic is a self-described fan of languages, speaking <a href="/facts/Serbian_language/quNDpTCd">Serbian</a>, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish to varying levels of proficiency.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a>

Djokovic and Murray are one of two pairs to have met in each of the four major finals (the other pair being Djokovic and Nadal).

Del Potro upset Djokovic in the first round at the <a href="/facts/Tennis_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics_%25E2%2580%2593_Men%2527s_singles/R63cIVUw">2016 Rio Olympics</a> in <a href="/facts/Rio_de_Janeiro/AVPTJJ2C">Rio</a> en route to the final. In 2018, Djokovic defeated del Potro in three close sets in the final of the <a href="/facts/2018_US_Open_%25E2%2580%2593_Men%2527s_singles/JlKC20lP">US Open</a>, which was the first Grand Slam final for del Potro since his <a href="/facts/2009_US_Open_%25E2%2580%2593_Men%2527s_singles/ncllrrgG">2009 US Open</a> victory. They played their last match at the <a href="/facts/2019_Italian_Open_%25E2%2580%2593_Men%2527s_singles/FG2vCG5l">2019 Italian Open</a> quarterfinal which Djokovic won in a dramatic three-setter after saving two match points.

<h2 id="player-profile">Player profile</h2>
<h3>Playing style</h3>
Djokovic is an <a href="/facts/Tennis_strategy/sjF4vn83">aggressive baseline player</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:397" href="#fn:397">397</a> His groundstrokes from both wings are consistent, deep, and penetrating. His backhand is widely regarded as the greatest two-handed backhand of all time, due to its effectiveness on both sides of the court and its accuracy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:398" href="#fn:398">398</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:399" href="#fn:399">399</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:400" href="#fn:400">400</a> His best shot is his backhand down the line, with great pace and precision. He excels at returning serve in particular, and regularly ranks among the tour leaders in return points, return games, and break points won. His forehand is deemed to be underrated, yet one of the best, due to its versatility.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:401" href="#fn:401">401</a> After great technical difficulties during the 2009 season (coinciding with his switch to the <a href="/facts/Head_(company)/7NfUh06l">Head</a> racket series), his <a href="/facts/Serve_(tennis)/xKS5b2N8">serve</a> is one of his major weapons again, winning him many free points; his first serve is typically hit flat, while he prefers to slice and kick his second serves wide.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:402" href="#fn:402">402</a> He has also led the <a href="/facts/ATP_Tour/sVgN3wUR">ATP Tour</a> in their career "Under Pressure Rating" statistic, in part because of his prowess at winning deciding sets.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:403" href="#fn:403">403</a>
Djokovic has been described as one of the fittest and most complete athletes in sports history, with high agility, court coverage and mobility, which allows him to hit winners from seemingly indefensible positions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:404" href="#fn:404">404</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:405" href="#fn:405">405</a> Because of this, coupled with flexibility and length, he rarely gets <a href="/facts/Ace_(tennis)/kT6PkyxF">aced</a>. <a href="/facts/Todd_Martin/9EUyyffz">Todd Martin</a>, who coached Djokovic between 2009 and 2010, noted that:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:406" href="#fn:406">406</a>

<blockquote>His athleticism is from another world. His return of serve is way better than any other return of serve ever and I mean way better. Nobody has gotten so many balls back and neutralized so many good serves.</blockquote>
Djokovic's return of serve is a big weapon for him, with which he can be both offensive and defensive. He is highly efficient off both the forehand and backhand return, often getting the return in play deep with pace, neutralizing the advantage the server usually has in a point. <a href="/facts/Andre_Agassi/YcRqTfwj">Andre Agassi</a> described Djokovic's return of serve as "the precedent-setting standard for the return".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:407" href="#fn:407">407</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:408" href="#fn:408">408</a> Occasionally, Djokovic employs a well-disguised backhand underspin <a href="/facts/Drop_shot/q3mNJRKF">drop shot</a> and sliced backhand.
Djokovic commented on the modern style of play, including his own, in an interview with <a href="/facts/Jim_Courier/Qt5HV7Ig">Jim Courier</a> after his semifinal win against <a href="/facts/Andy_Murray/NclfB1M5">Andy Murray</a> in the <a href="/facts/2012_Australian_Open/LgRm7h8W">2012 Australian Open</a> tournament:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:409" href="#fn:409">409</a>

<blockquote>I had a big privilege and honour to meet personally today Mr. <a href="/facts/Rod_Laver/5zr8hMnl">Laver</a>, and he is one of the biggest, and greatest players ever to play the game, thank you for staying this late, sir, thank you ... even though it would actually be better if we played a couple times serve and volley, but we don't know to play ... we are mostly around here [points to the area near the baseline], we are running, you know, around the baseline ...</blockquote>
In assessing Djokovic's 2011 season, <a href="/facts/Jimmy_Connors/xVAcNUcY">Jimmy Connors</a> said that Djokovic gives his opponents problems by playing "a little bit old-school, taking the ball earlier, catching the ball on the rise, (and) driving the ball flat". Connors adds that a lot of the topspin that Djokovic's opponents drive at him comes right into his zone, thus his ability to turn defense into offense well.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:410" href="#fn:410">410</a>

<h3>Equipment</h3>
Entering the pro circuit, Djokovic used the <a href="/facts/Head_(company)/7NfUh06l">Head</a> Liquidmetal Radical, but changed sponsors to <a href="/facts/Wilson_Sporting_Goods/XocUIrrH">Wilson</a> in 2005. He could not find a Wilson racquet he liked, so Wilson agreed to make him a custom racquet to match his previous one with Head.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:411" href="#fn:411">411</a> After the 2008 season, Djokovic re-signed with Head, and debuted a new paint job of the Head YouTek Speed Pro at the 2009 <a href="/facts/Australian_Open/10VoWm79">Australian Open</a>. He then switched to the Head YouTek IG Speed (18x20) paint job in 2011, and in 2013, he again updated his paint job to the Head Graphene Speed Pro, which included an extensive promotional campaign.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:412" href="#fn:412">412</a> Djokovic uses a hybrid of Head Natural Gut (gauge 16) in the mains and Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power Rough (gauge 16L) in the crosses. He also uses Head Synthetic Leather Grip as a replacement grip.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:413" href="#fn:413">413</a> In 2012, Djokovic appeared in a television commercial with <a href="/facts/Maria_Sharapova/6juhJ0WP">Maria Sharapova</a> promoting the use of Head rackets for many techniques such as golf and ten-pin bowling.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:414" href="#fn:414">414</a>

<h3>Coaching and personal team</h3>

Genčić coached him in Belgrade from 1993 to 1999, while Pilić worked with him in Munich from 1999 to 2003.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:415" href="#fn:415">415</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:416" href="#fn:416">416</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:417" href="#fn:417">417</a>
In 2004 and 2005, he was coached by <a href="/facts/Dejan_Petrovi%25C4%2587/AFDqq0yX">Dejan Petrović</a>, during which time he rose from outside the top 300 to inside the top 100.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:418" href="#fn:418">418</a> From late 2005 to mid-2006, he briefly worked with <a href="/facts/Riccardo_Piatti/IULwvXYo">Riccardo Piatti</a>, before parting ways due to scheduling conflicts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:419" href="#fn:419">419</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:420" href="#fn:420">420</a>
From 2006 to 2017, Djokovic's main coach was <a href="/facts/Mari%25C3%25A1n_Vajda/R7F5sevU">Marián Vajda</a>, who became a long-time collaborator. During this period, he also worked occasionally with specialists such as <a href="/facts/Mark_Woodforde/gwHmL0D0">Mark Woodforde</a> (2007) and <a href="/facts/Todd_Martin/9EUyyffz">Todd Martin</a> (2009–2010).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:421" href="#fn:421">421</a>
Djokovic’s physical team included physiotherapist Miljan Amanović, fitness coach Ronen Bega (until 2009), and Austrian trainer Gebhard Phil-Gritsch from 2009 onward.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:422" href="#fn:422">422</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:423" href="#fn:423">423</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:424" href="#fn:424">424</a>
In 2008, he began working with Italian agent Edoardo Artaldi, who, alongside his wife Elena Capellaro, managed Djokovic’s affairs and logistics.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:425" href="#fn:425">425</a> Their professional relationship lasted until 2023, despite occasional tensions, such as during the final of the <a href="/facts/2023_Adelaide_International_1_%25E2%2580%2593_Men%2527s_singles/YWkjxTRu">2023 Adelaide International 1 – Men's singles</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:426" href="#fn:426">426</a>
Nutritionist Igor Četojević joined the team in 2010 and helped reform Djokovic's diet, contributing to his physical transformation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:427" href="#fn:427">427</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:428" href="#fn:428">428</a>

In 2007, Djokovic founded the Novak Djokovic Foundation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:429" href="#fn:429">429</a> The organization's mission is to help children from disadvantaged communities grow up and develop in stimulating and safe environments.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:430" href="#fn:430">430</a> The foundation partnered with the <a href="/facts/World_Bank/hIH9uUb2">World Bank</a> in August 2015 to promote early childhood education in Serbia.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:431" href="#fn:431">431</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:432" href="#fn:432">432</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:433" href="#fn:433">433</a> His foundation has built 50 schools as of April 2022 and are building their 51st, and supported more than 20,800 children and over a thousand families.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:434" href="#fn:434">434</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:435" href="#fn:435">435</a>
Djokovic participated in charity matches to raise funds for the reconstruction of the <a href="/facts/Avala_Tower/WL0r0Ima">Avala Tower</a>, as well as to aid victims of the <a href="/facts/2010_Haiti_earthquake/fffulr9x">2010 Haiti earthquake</a> and the <a href="/facts/2010%25E2%2580%259311_Queensland_floods/3vNxGLmt">2010–11 Queensland floods</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:436" href="#fn:436">436</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:437" href="#fn:437">437</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:438" href="#fn:438">438</a> Starting in 2007, he has established a tradition of hosting and socializing with hundreds of <a href="/facts/Kosovo_Serbs/66tNgwNM">Kosovo Serb</a> children during <a href="/facts/Davis_Cup/bua0pT9o">Davis Cup</a> matches organized in Serbia.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:439" href="#fn:439">439</a> Djokovic was selected as the 2012 <a href="/facts/ATP_Awards/0d4cFFhd">Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year</a>, for his contributions through the foundation, his role as a <a href="/facts/List_of_UNICEF_Goodwill_Ambassadors/NTDAI6oa">UNICEF national ambassador</a> and other charitable projects.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:440" href="#fn:440">440</a> In August 2015, he was appointed a <a href="/facts/List_of_UNICEF_Goodwill_Ambassadors/NTDAI6oa">UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:441" href="#fn:441">441</a>
During the <a href="/facts/2014_Southeast_Europe_floods/4yRJ3Emt">2014 Balkans floods</a>, Djokovic sparked worldwide financial and media support for victims in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:442" href="#fn:442">442</a> After winning the <a href="/facts/2014_Italian_Open_(tennis)/BfGw3ctb">2014 Rome Masters</a>, Djokovic donated his prize money to the flood victims in Serbia, while his foundation collected another $600,000.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:443" href="#fn:443">443</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:444" href="#fn:444">444</a> Following his <a href="/facts/2016_Australian_Open/UJ8RtQG3">2016 Australian Open</a> victory, Djokovic donated $20,000 to <a href="/facts/Melbourne_City_Mission/LGh1f6cm">Melbourne City Mission</a>'s early childhood education program to help disadvantaged children.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:445" href="#fn:445">445</a> After the <a href="/facts/COVID-19_pandemic/0xTsh7Ut">COVID-19 pandemic</a> spread <a href="/facts/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Serbia/EIMuPStU">to Serbia</a> in March 2020, he and his wife announced that they will donate €1 million for the purchase of ventilators and medical equipment to support hospitals and other medical institutions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:446" href="#fn:446">446</a> He also made a donation to <a href="/facts/Province_of_Bergamo/huXTRjaa">Bergamo</a>, Italy‚ one of the <a href="/facts/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Italy/tp2NNMtH">worst-affected</a> Italian provinces, as well as to <a href="/facts/Novi_Pazar/kSfkLnpG">Novi Pazar</a>, <a href="/facts/Serbia/U0LVzPdI">Serbia</a> and <a href="/facts/North_Mitrovica/qB68eUz3">North Mitrovica</a>, <a href="/facts/Kosovo/lbyzI6UW">Kosovo</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:447" href="#fn:447">447</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:448" href="#fn:448">448</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:449" href="#fn:449">449</a>

<h3>Sponsorships and business ventures</h3>
Djokovic endorses Serbian telecommunications company <a href="/facts/Telekom_Srbija/x7yf2DwV">Telekom Srbija</a> and German nutritional supplement brand FitLine.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:450" href="#fn:450">450</a>
On turning professional in 2003, Djokovic began wearing <a href="/facts/Adidas/CNIQeaXj">Adidas</a> clothing. At the end of 2009, Djokovic signed a 10-year deal with the Italian clothing company <a href="/facts/Sergio_Tacchini/CAN9x2gV">Sergio Tacchini</a> after Adidas refused to extend his clothing contract (choosing instead to sign <a href="/facts/Andy_Murray/NclfB1M5">Andy Murray</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:451" href="#fn:451">451</a> Tacchini doesn't make shoes so Djokovic continued with Adidas as his choice of footwear. His sponsorship contract with Tacchini was incentive-heavy, and Djokovic's disproportionate success and dominance in 2011 caused the company to fall behind on bonus payments, leading to the termination of the sponsorship contract.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:452" href="#fn:452">452</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:453" href="#fn:453">453</a>
From 2011, Djokovic began to wear custom Red and Blue Adidas Barricade 6.0's shoes, referring to the colors of the Serbian national flag. By April 2012, the Tacchini deal had fallen first short and then apart. At that point, he was set to join forces with <a href="/facts/Nike%2c_Inc./uBaRcBM2">Nike, Inc.</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:454" href="#fn:454">454</a> but instead, on 23 May 2012, <a href="/facts/Uniqlo/GyCJKgH1">Uniqlo</a> appointed Djokovic as its global brand ambassador. The five-year sponsorship, reportedly worth €8 million per year,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:455" href="#fn:455">455</a> began on 27 May 2012 in Paris' French Open tennis tournament. A year later, Djokovic's long-term footwear deal with Adidas was announced ahead of 2013 French Open.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:456" href="#fn:456">456</a> Since January 2018 Novak has been wearing <a href="/facts/Asics/Cr4gf8BW">Asics</a> shoes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:457" href="#fn:457">457</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:458" href="#fn:458">458</a>
In August 2011, Djokovic became the brand ambassador of Swiss watch manufacturer <a href="/facts/Audemars_Piguet/o1muD9Wj">Audemars Piguet</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:459" href="#fn:459">459</a> Less than a month later, Djokovic signed a sponsorship deal with German car company <a href="/facts/Mercedes-Benz/pGrJrQHC">Mercedes-Benz</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:460" href="#fn:460">460</a> In March 2012, Djokovic was announced by <a href="/facts/Bombardier_Aerospace/bDzG6hIw">Bombardier Aerospace</a> as its latest <a href="/facts/Learjet/CFcQNk1Y">Learjet</a> brand ambassador, thus joining the likes of actor and pilot <a href="/facts/John_Travolta/94sFER6m">John Travolta</a>, architect <a href="/facts/Frank_Gehry/tSunALsf">Frank Gehry</a>, maestro <a href="/facts/Valery_Gergiev/RLfh946g">Valery Gergiev</a>, and classical pianist <a href="/facts/Lang_Lang/IHr9b4xD">Lang Lang</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:461" href="#fn:461">461</a> From January 2014 Djokovic has been endorsing French car manufacturer <a href="/facts/Peugeot/Y7M6sq1D">Peugeot</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:462" href="#fn:462">462</a> At the same time he entered into an endorsement deal with Japanese watch manufacturer <a href="/facts/Seiko/HoIGRaIx">Seiko</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:463" href="#fn:463">463</a> having just ended his affiliation with their rivals Audemars Piguet.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:464" href="#fn:464">464</a> In early 2015, ahead of the <a href="/facts/2015_Australian_Open_%25E2%2580%2593_Men%2527s_singles/R2uJE7AV">Australian Open</a>, Djokovic teamed up with Australian banking corporation <a href="/facts/Australia_and_New_Zealand_Banking_Group/6ErhEgE7">ANZ</a> for a social media campaign to raise money for local communities across the Asia Pacific region.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:465" href="#fn:465">465</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:466" href="#fn:466">466</a> At the same time his partnership with <a href="/facts/Jacob%2527s_Creek_(wine)/6yluJJsW">Jacob's Creek</a>, an Australian wine brand owned by <a href="/facts/Orlando_Wines/6yluJJsW">Orlando Wines</a>, was announced in regards to the production and distribution of 'Made By' film series, a documentary style content meant to "show a side of Novak not seen before as he recounts never before told life stories from Belgrade, Serbia, celebrating what has made him the champion he is today".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:467" href="#fn:467">467</a>
Since 2004, the business end of Djokovic's career has been handled by Israeli managers <a href="/facts/Amit_Naor/KfVRYP6D">Amit Naor</a> (former pro tennis player turned sports agent) and Allon Khakshouri,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:468" href="#fn:468">468</a> a duo which also had <a href="/facts/Marat_Safin/4SqkWlIc">Marat Safin</a> and <a href="/facts/Dinara_Safina/PMY2GjXe">Dinara Safina</a> as its clients. In June 2008, after the duo entered into a partnership with CAA Sports, the sports division of Hollywood talent firm <a href="/facts/Creative_Artists_Agency/MHaVQ52T">Creative Artists Agency</a>, meaning that the famous company started representing tennis players for the first time,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:469" href="#fn:469">469</a> Djokovic formally signed with <a href="/facts/Creative_Artists_Agency/MHaVQ52T">CAA Sports</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:470" href="#fn:470">470</a> After Djokovic's contract with CAA Sports expired during summer 2012, he decided to switch representation, announcing <a href="/facts/IMG_Worldwide/by50Xgv3">IMG Worldwide</a> as his new representatives in December 2012.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:471" href="#fn:471">471</a>
On 22 May 2017, Djokovic was unveiled as a brand ambassador of <a href="/facts/Lacoste_(company)/mRgo2sC2">Lacoste</a> after a five-year partnership with <a href="/facts/Uniqlo/GyCJKgH1">Uniqlo</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:472" href="#fn:472">472</a>
During the <a href="/facts/2021_US_Open_(tennis)/1EKXXJ1o">2021 US Open</a>, some people in Djokovic's player box wore hats and shirts bearing the logo of <a href="/facts/Raiffeisen_Bank_International/uFTxIP9F">Raiffeisen Bank International</a>, the central back of one of the two largest banking cooperatives in Austria. In April 2021, Djokovic became a brand ambassador for RBI and its subsidiaries in Central and Eastern Europe. The bank will help to support Djokovic's tennis academy in Belgrade.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:473" href="#fn:473">473</a> Djokovic did not wear the RBI logo, but he did wear on his shirt the logo of <a href="/facts/UKG/uMzrauVR">UKG</a>, an American <a href="/facts/Workforce_management/askcU7yH">workforce management</a> and <a href="/facts/Human_resource_management_systems/Ypktuew1">human resource management</a> company. People in his box wore the logo on hats as well. UKG lists Djokovic as one of their sponsored athletes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:474" href="#fn:474">474</a>

<h4>Investments</h4>
In 2005, as Djokovic moved up the tennis rankings, he began venturing into the business world. Most of his activities in the business arena have been channeled through Family Sport, a legal entity in Serbia established and run by members of his immediate family. Registered as a <a href="/facts/Limited_liability_company/tbII1F14">limited liability company</a>, Family Sport initially focused on <a href="/facts/Hospitality_industry/gtNEIdFI">hospitality</a>, specifically the restaurant business, by launching Novak Café & Restaurant, a franchise developed on the theme of Djokovic's tennis success. Over time, the company, whose day-to-day operations are mostly handled by Novak's father Srdjan and uncle Goran, expanded its activities into real estate, sports/entertainment event organization, and sports apparel distribution.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:475" href="#fn:475">475</a>
The company launched Novak Café & Restaurant in 2008 in the Belgrade municipality of <a href="/facts/Novi_Beograd/sPhwJrPB">Novi Beograd</a>, the flagship location in a <a href="/facts/Franchising/dfSecjw8">franchised</a> chain of theme café-restaurants. During 2009, two more locations were added—one in <a href="/facts/Kragujevac/5RQedRob">Kragujevac</a> and the other in Belgrade, the city's second, in September at the neighbourhood of <a href="/facts/Dor%25C4%2587ol/GvQWQndn">Dorćol</a> overlooking the playing courts of <a href="/facts/Serbia_Open/90XR3Gpu">Serbia Open</a> whose inaugural edition took place several months earlier.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:476" href="#fn:476">476</a> On 16 December 2011 a location in <a href="/facts/Novi_Sad/g5F2natr">Novi Sad</a> was opened,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:477" href="#fn:477">477</a> however, it operated just over three years before closing in late March 2015.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:478" href="#fn:478">478</a> <a href="/facts/Banja_Luka/SY8RokWI">Banja Luka</a> in neighbouring <a href="/facts/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina/jNVA1gPB">Bosnia</a> got its Novak Café & Restaurant location on 16 October 2015 within Hotel Trešnja on Banj hill.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:479" href="#fn:479">479</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:480" href="#fn:480">480</a>
In 2009, the company bought a <a href="/facts/ATP_Tour_250/qDkq2oJC">250-series</a> ATP tournament known as the <a href="/facts/Dutch_Open_(tennis)/bNszBCDE">Dutch Open</a> and moved it to Serbia where it was renamed the <a href="/facts/Serbia_Open/90XR3Gpu">Serbia Open</a>. With the help of Belgrade city authorities, the tournament's inaugural edition was held in May 2009 at the city-owned "Milan Gale Muškatirović" courts, located at an attractive spot in <a href="/facts/Dor%25C4%2587ol/GvQWQndn">Dorćol</a> neighbourhood.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:481" href="#fn:481">481</a> The tournament folded in 2012 after four editions and its place in the ATP calendar got taken over by the <a href="/facts/D%25C3%25BCsseldorf_Open_(ATP_Tour)/EcYV1uw0">Düsseldorf Open</a>.
In May 2015, right after winning his fourth <a href="/facts/2015_Italian_Open_%25E2%2580%2593_Men%2527s_singles/BlM397DL">Rome Masters</a> title, Djokovic launched a line of nutritional food products, called Djokolife.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:482" href="#fn:482">482</a> On 10 April 2016, while in town for the <a href="/facts/2016_Monte-Carlo_Rolex_Masters_%25E2%2580%2593_Singles/zXWNwCke">Monte-Carlo Masters</a>, Djokovic opened a vegan restaurant called Eqvita in <a href="/facts/Monte_Carlo/uGorqC7k">Monte Carlo</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:483" href="#fn:483">483</a> The restaurant reportedly closed in March 2019.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:484" href="#fn:484">484</a>
Djokovic has 80% stake in biotech firm QuantBioRes which claims to be developing a drug to treat patients who have contracted <a href="/facts/COVID-19/YsUgvsaX">COVID-19</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:485" href="#fn:485">485</a> Their research is based on electromagnetic frequency; one biomedical scientist likened it to <a href="/facts/Homeopathy/WVPa8Qwz">homeopathy</a> and argued that it "does not reflect a contemporary understanding of how biochemistry works", while <a href="/facts/Peter_Collignon/Vf8aQWV2">Peter Collignon</a> commented that their website "describes a way of finding a new molecule without providing any evidence of success".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:486" href="#fn:486">486</a>

<h3>Professional Tennis Players Association</h3>
In August 2020, Djokovic resigned from the Players Council of the <a href="/facts/Association_of_Tennis_Professionals/156Psd62">Association of Tennis Professionals</a> and formed the <a href="/facts/Professional_Tennis_Players_Association/t8Hjrv5q">Professional Tennis Players Association</a> (PTPA) with <a href="/facts/Vasek_Pospisil/WuIDWfxS">Vasek Pospisil</a>. The pair will serve as co-presidents of the new organization to promote the interests of male and female tennis players above a ranking of 500 in singles and 200 in doubles.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:487" href="#fn:487">487</a>

<h3>In popular culture</h3>

In addition to Djokovic, the national surge in the popularity of tennis was also inspired by three other up-and-coming young players: twenty-year-old <a href="/facts/Ana_Ivanovic/uDKT7D7D">Ana Ivanovic</a>, twenty-two-year-old <a href="/facts/Jelena_Jankovi%25C4%2587/7w1RD8FM">Jelena Janković</a>, and twenty-three-year-old <a href="/facts/Janko_Tipsarevi%25C4%2587/8DcF5GV3">Janko Tipsarević</a> as evidenced in early December 2007 when a sports-entertainment show named NAJJ Srbije (The Best of Serbia), put together in honour of the four players' respective successes in the 2007 season, drew a capacity crowd to Belgrade's Kombank Arena.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:497" href="#fn:497">497</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:498" href="#fn:498">498</a> In May 2008, he was a special guest during the first semifinal of the <a href="/facts/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2008/g11rePIK">Eurovision Song Contest</a>, held in Belgrade that year. He threw a big tennis ball into the crowd, announcing the start of the voting and together with one of the show's co-presenters, <a href="/facts/%25C5%25BDeljko_Joksimovi%25C4%2587/QbDbCnky">Željko Joksimović</a>, Djokovic sang <a href="/facts/%25C4%2590or%25C4%2591e_Marjanovi%25C4%2587/pLWPFqlK">Đorđe Marjanović</a>'s song "Beograde".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:499" href="#fn:499">499</a>

<h3>Views on diet, medicine and science</h3>
Since 2010, he has been connected with the nutritionist Igor Četojević who additionally focuses on <a href="/facts/Traditional_Chinese_medicine/51rSRXua">Chinese medicine</a> and performs <a href="/facts/Acupuncture/7wxdsmUL">acupuncture</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:521" href="#fn:521">521</a> He allegedly discovered that Djokovic suffers from <a href="/facts/Gluten_intolerance/y6Tthue2">gluten intolerance</a>, using <a href="/facts/Applied_kinesiology/KHn0edkA">applied kinesiology</a>, and that he should not eat <a href="/facts/Gluten/NNnUfKRU">gluten</a>, removing it from his diet.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:522" href="#fn:522">522</a> He eventually settled on a <a href="/facts/Vegan/ENrKFBzz">vegan</a> diet, while later sometimes eating <a href="/facts/Fish_as_food/PEaSCDz3">fish</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:523" href="#fn:523">523</a> He also claims this vegan, plant-based diet cured his persistent allergies and mild asthma.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:524" href="#fn:524">524</a> The gluten-free diet has been credited for improving his endurance on the court and playing a role in his subsequent success.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:525" href="#fn:525">525</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:526" href="#fn:526">526</a>
Following his elbow surgery in 2018, he stated that he "cried for three days" after it, feeling guilty, because he was "not a fan of surgeries or medications" and wanted "to be as natural as possible". He further stated his belief that human "bodies are self-healing mechanisms".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:527" href="#fn:527">527</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:528" href="#fn:528">528</a>
In his 2013 autobiography, Serve to Win, he wrote of a "researcher" who directed "anger, fear, hostility" at a glass of water, which turned "slightly green" after a few days, while also directing "love, joy" at another glass of water, which remained "bright and crystal clear" in the same period.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:529" href="#fn:529">529</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:530" href="#fn:530">530</a> In 2020, Djokovic spoke of his belief that "some people" used "prayer" and "gratitude" to "turn the most toxic food, or maybe most polluted water into the most healing water." He also stated that "scientists [have] proven" that "molecules in the water react to our emotions" and speech.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:531" href="#fn:531">531</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:532" href="#fn:532">532</a> Such claims are scientifically dubious,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:533" href="#fn:533">533</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:534" href="#fn:534">534</a> and generally regarded as superstitious beliefs.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:535" href="#fn:535">535</a>

<h3>Opposition to COVID-19 vaccine mandate</h3>
See also: <a href="/facts/2022_Australian_Open/PnSPsXIM">2022 Australian Open § Djokovic's vaccination and visa controversy</a>
During the ATP Tour's <a href="/facts/Impact_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic_on_sports/GyxSNPDE">shutdown</a> due to the <a href="/facts/COVID-19_pandemic/0xTsh7Ut">COVID-19 pandemic</a>, in a Facebook live stream with other Serbian athletes hosted in April 2020, Djokovic indicated he <a href="/facts/Vaccine_hesitancy/Asj23DCg">opposes vaccination</a> and would not be forced to take a COVID vaccine just to be able to return to the Тour.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:536" href="#fn:536">536</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:537" href="#fn:537">537</a> He later clarified his remarks by stating that he is not against all kinds of vaccines, but that he is against forced vaccination.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:538" href="#fn:538">538</a> He added that he was extremely careful about what he puts into his body.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:539" href="#fn:539">539</a>
Djokovic's views came under increased scrutiny in late 2021, in the run-up to the <a href="/facts/2022_Australian_Open/PnSPsXIM">2022 Australian Open</a>, after comments made by <a href="/facts/Australian_government/UAFhWff0">Australian government</a> officials indicated that tennis players would need to be vaccinated to enter the tournament.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:540" href="#fn:540">540</a> Prior to the tournament, Djokovic had refused to state publicly whether he was vaccinated or not, but had made comments stating his concern over the possibility of a hotel quarantine in Australia.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:541" href="#fn:541">541</a> However, while being interviewed by the <a href="/facts/Australian_Border_Force/B02paEL4">Australian Border Force</a> in January 2022, Djokovic confirmed to the officer interviewing him that he was unvaccinated.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:542" href="#fn:542">542</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:543" href="#fn:543">543</a>

Several commentators feel that Djokovic's stance against the COVID-19 vaccine could damage his placement among the all-time great tennis players as he would not be able to participate in the major tournaments where vaccination is required for entry<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:544" href="#fn:544">544</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:545" href="#fn:545">545</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:546" href="#fn:546">546</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:547" href="#fn:547">547</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:548" href="#fn:548">548</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:549" href="#fn:549">549</a> while others have applauded his view of having a choice.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:550" href="#fn:550">550</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:551" href="#fn:551">551</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:552" href="#fn:552">552</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:553" href="#fn:553">553</a> He was unable to play the <a href="/facts/2022_Australian_Open_%25E2%2580%2593_Men%2527s_singles/Pzl23yD4">2022 Australian Open</a>, where he was the defending champion and the favorite to win.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:554" href="#fn:554">554</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:555" href="#fn:555">555</a> Shortly thereafter, he lost the No. 1 ranking he had held for a record 373 weeks. Due to the federal government's vaccination policy for non-US citizens, Djokovic was unable to enter the United States to play the <a href="/facts/2022_US_Open_%25E2%2580%2593_Men%2527s_singles/eYvmdcPP">2022 US Open</a>, another major tournament he was the favorite to win.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:556" href="#fn:556">556</a>
In an interview with the <a href="/facts/BBC_News/oGAe2H8E">BBC</a> on 15 February 2022, a few weeks after the tournament, Djokovic stated he does not associate with the wider <a href="/facts/Anti-vaccine_activism/qxPLoTXg">anti-vax movement</a>. However, he believes in personal freedom of choice and supports an individual's right to choose whether or not they receive a vaccine. He re-affirmed sticking to his principles and refusal to receive a vaccine, saying that he would be willing to forgo entry into tournaments which are held in countries mandating the vaccine even if it cost him his career records and placement among the all-time great players.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:557" href="#fn:557">557</a>

<blockquote>When you look at match players in the history of tennis, I don't believe that anybody can equal everything on the court that Djokovic does. I don't think you can find a weakness in his game. His movement, personality, his return of serve, his serve, excellent touch, not hesitant in coming to the net, great serve. Overall, almost every player has a downfall; to me, he doesn't have one. He's perhaps the best put-together player that I've seen over 60 years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:609" href="#fn:609">609</a></blockquote>
<a href="/facts/Andre_Agassi/YcRqTfwj">Andre Agassi</a>, stated in an interview in 2019 with the Times of India that:

<blockquote>The highest standard of tennis that I've ever seen is when Novak is playing his best tennis. The single level, for whatever my tennis IQ is worth, is an unmistakable standard to which everybody will strive to be.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:610" href="#fn:610">610</a></blockquote>
<a href="/facts/Pete_Sampras/0f2yoJnf">Pete Sampras</a>, who at the time of his retirement in 2003 was considered by some to be the greatest male tennis player of all time, stated after Djokovic earned a record-breaking seventh year-end No. 1 finish in 2021:

<blockquote>Seven years for him, I'm sure he sees it as a bonus to all the majors that he's won, but I think he'll appreciate it more as he gets older. He did it at a time where he dominated two of the greats, in Roger and Rafa, and he handled the next generation of players very well – all at the same time. I do think what Novak's done over the past 10 years, winning the majors, being consistent, finishing number one for seven years, to me it's a clear sign that he is the greatest of all time.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:611" href="#fn:611">611</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:612" href="#fn:612">612</a></blockquote>
