About
Born in Belgrade and shaped by Jelena Genčić's group of teenage talents during the Yugoslav wars, Novak Djokovic turned pro in 2003 and won his first Grand Slam at the 2008 Australian Open. The all-time leader in men's Grand Slam titles (24), weeks at world No. 1 (428+) and ATP year-end No. 1 finishes (8), Djokovic has redefined the longevity ceiling in the sport. The Olympic gold in Paris 2024 completed the only major prize that had eluded him.

In the news
“Djokovic's break-point save percentage in 2025 (68%) was the highest of any season-long top-10 player since 2010.”
Playing style
The most complete defensive baseliner the sport has produced. Reads the ball off opponents' strings unusually early, redirects pace down the line on both wings, and turns defence into offence with a neutralising backhand cross-court. Flexibility and recovery from sliding splits remain elite, even into his late 30s.
