Novak Djokovic is a Serbian professional tennis player widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes in the history of the sport. Born in Belgrade in 1987, Djokovic turned professional in 2003 and quickly rose through the ranks to join the elite group of men’s tennis alongside Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Djokovic is known for his exceptional athleticism, mental resilience, and all-court versatility, which have allowed him to dominate across all surfaces and conditions. Djokovic holds the all-time record for men’s Grand Slam singles titles with 24 major championships, surpassing both Federer and Nadal[1][3]. His Grand Slam victories include a record 10 Australian Open titles, 7 Wimbledon championships, 4 US Opens, and 3 French Open crowns[2]. He is the only male player to have won each of the four majors at least three times, achieving the rare “triple Career Grand Slam”[1]. Djokovic has also been ranked world No. 1 for a record total of 428 weeks across 13 different years, and has finished as the year-end No. 1 a record eight times[1]. In addition to his Grand Slam success, Djokovic has claimed a record 40 ATP Masters 1000 titles, 7 ATP Finals championships, and over 100 career ATP singles titles overall[3][4]. He is one of the few players to complete the Career Golden Slam, having won all four majors, the ATP Finals, and an Olympic gold medal—a feat he achieved by winning singles gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics[2]. Djokovic has also been a key figure in Serbia’s Davis Cup team, helping his country win the title in 2010[2]. Djokovic’s list of professional honors includes eight ITF World Champion awards and eight ATP Player of the Year titles, reflecting his sustained excellence over more than two decades[1][2]. Off the court, he has been recognized for his humanitarian efforts, receiving the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year award in 2012[1][2]. As of late 2025, Djokovic remains a central figure in men’s tennis, continuing to compete at the highest level and adding to his historic legacy. His recent Olympic gold medal in Paris further cemented his status as one of the sport’s most accomplished and versatile champions[2]. Djokovic’s career is marked not only by his records and trophies but also by his influence in elevating the standards of professional tennis worldwide.
