About our Novak Djokovic news
Latest news on Novak Djokovic, world No. 1 tennis star, 24-time Grand Slam champion, covering matches, records and achievements on ATP Tour in 2024.
Novak Djokovic, born on 22 May 1987 in Belgrade, Serbia, has established himself as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. With a record 24 Grand Slam men's singles titles, 40 Masters titles, and 428 weeks at world No. 1, Djokovic has dominated men's tennis for over a decade.
The 2024 season has seen Djokovic continue to make history, becoming the oldest Olympic gold medalist in men's singles tennis at the Paris Olympics. However, he has faced challenges, including a semifinal loss at the Australian Open to Jannik Sinner, ending his 33-match winning streak in Melbourne, and knee surgery following the French Open which led to him relinquishing the world No. 1 ranking.
Beyond his athletic achievements, Djokovic is known for his philanthropy through the Novak Djokovic Foundation, which has built 50 schools and supported over 20,800 children. His playing style combines exceptional flexibility, court coverage, and precise groundstrokes, particularly his trademark two-handed backhand, widely regarded as one of the best in tennis history.
Djokovic's rise to prominence began in his youth in war-torn Serbia, where he trained in a converted swimming pool during NATO bombings. His breakthrough came in 2008 when he won his first Grand Slam at the Australian Open, and by 2011, he had established himself as the dominant force in men's tennis, beginning an era of unprecedented success.
Following every development in Djokovic's career is crucial for tennis enthusiasts and sports fans alike, as he continues to break records and redefine what's possible in the sport.
