He is of paternal Montenegrin and maternal Croatian descent. His two younger brothers, Marko and Djordje, are also tennis players with professional aspirations. A resident of Monte Carlo, Djokovic was coached by former Slovak tennis player Marián Vajda from 2006 until Boris Becker took over the role of head coach in December 2013. Djokovic is a self - described fan of languages, speaking Serbian, English, French, German, and Italian. He met his future wife, Jelena Ristić, in high school, and began dating her in 2005. The two became engaged in September 2013, and on 10 July 2014 the couple got married on Sveti Stefan in Montenegro, while a church wedding was held in the same place, on 12 July 2014, in the Church of Saint Stephen ( Serbian : Црква Светог Архиђакона Стефана ) which belongs to Praskvica Monastery. On 24 April 2014, Djokovic announced that he and Ristić were expecting their first child. Their son, Stefan, was born in October 2014. Their daughter, Tara, was born in September 2017. Djokovic began playing tennis at the age of four. In the summer of 1993, the six - year - old was spotted by Yugoslav tennis player Jelena Genčić at Mount Kopaonik, where Djokovic 's parents ran a fast - food parlour. Upon seeing the child Djokovic playing tennis, she stated : `` This is the greatest talent I have seen since Monica Seles. '' Genčić worked with young Djokovic over the following six years before realizing that, due to his rapid development, going abroad in search of increased level of competition was the best option for his future. To that end, she contacted Nikola Pilić and in September 1999 the 12 - year - old moved to the Pilić tennis academy in Oberschleißheim, Germany, spending four years there. At the age of 14, he began his international career, winning European championships in singles, doubles, and team competition. Djokovic is known for his often humorous off - court impersonations of his fellow players, many of whom are his friends. This became evident to the tennis world after his 2007 US Open quarterfinal win over Carlos Moyá, where he entertained the audience with impersonations of Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova. His impersonations have also become popular on YouTube. Djokovic did an impression of John McEnroe after his fourth round match victory at the 2009 US Open, before playing a brief game with McEnroe, much to the delight of the audience. Djokovic is a member of the `` Champions for Peace '' club, a group of famous elite athletes committed to serving peace in the world through sport, created by Peace and Sport, a Monaco - based international organization. Djokovic is a member of the Serbian Orthodox Church. On 28 April 2011, Patriarch Irinej of Serbia awarded Djokovic the Order of St. Sava I class, the highest decoration of the Serbian Orthodox Church, for his contributions to monasteries of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo and Metohija and charitable work in Serbia. He is a keen fan of Serbian football club Red Star Belgrade, Italian club A.C. Milan and Portuguese club S.L. Benfica.

At the junior Grand Slam tournaments his best showing was at the Australian Open where he reached the semi-finals in 2004. He did not play at Wimbledon but he did play at the Jr French Open and Jr US Open. Start of professional career Djokovic turned professional in 2003 by entering the ATP World Tour.

The nineteen - year - old Djokovic, who was ranked sixty - third in the world at the time, mostly dismissed the story at first by saying that the talks were not serious, describing them as `` the British being very kind to us after the Davis Cup. '' However, more than three years later, in October 2009, Djokovic confirmed that the talks between his family and the LTA throughout April and May 2006 were indeed serious : Britain was offering me a lot of opportunities and they needed someone because Andy ( Murray ) was the only one, and still is. That had to be a disappointment for all the money they invest. But I did n't need the money as much as I had done. I had begun to make some for myself, enough to afford to travel with a coach, and I said, ' Why the heck ? ' I am Serbian, I am proud of being a Serbian, I did n't want to spoil that just because another country had better conditions. If I had played for Great Britain, of course I would have played exactly as I do for my country but deep inside, I would never have felt that I belonged. I was the one who took the decision. 2007 : reaching the top ten & first major final Djokovic began 2007 by defeating Australian Chris Guccione in the final of the tournament in Adelaide, before losing in the fourth round of the Australian Open to eventual champion Roger Federer in straight sets.

In his September 2013 men 's greatest players of all - time list, International Business Times ' writer Jason Le Miere put the Serb in seventh place. ESPN writer Howard Bryant called him ' arguably the best pure tennis player in the world '. In April 2015, Henman offered another comment on Djokovic 's standing among the all - time greats, saying `` it 's only a matter of time before he is considered alongside Federer and Nadal as one of the greatest players of all time ''. Having proclaimed him `` one of the all - time greats '' in November 2014, John McEnroe put Djokovic in all - time top five following his 2015 Wimbledon win, Djokovic 's ninth Grand Slam tournament title : `` My top four are Laver, Sampras, Roger and Nadal but Novak is at number five and rising ''. Andrew Castle stated in January 2016 that Djokovic is `` undoubtedly moving towards being considered the sport 's all - time greatest player ''. In June 2016, a panel of more than forty ESPN experts ranked Djokovic as number eight on their top twenty all - time combined list of both male and female tennis players ; he was number five among the males, behind Federer, Laver, Sampras, and Borg. Rod Laver said in 2016 that Djokovic was tied with Federer as the best player of all time. In February 2018 Djokovic was placed as No. 5 by Tennis.com in the list of 50 greatest male players of the Open era. Djokovic is widely considered to be one of the greatest returners in the history of the sport, an accolade given to him even by Andre Agassi, who was considered to be the best returner ever. Though staying clear of best ever conversations, tennis coach Nick Bollettieri has continually been praising Djokovic as the `` most complete player ever '' and the `` most perfect player of all time '' : When you look at match players in the history of tennis, I do n't believe that anybody can equal everything on the court that Djokovic does. I do n'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. Over all, almost every player has a downfall ; to me he does n't have one. He 's perhaps the best put - together player that I 've seen over 60 years. Tennis pundits have classified many of Djokovic 's matches as some of the greatest contests ever, with the 2012 Australian Open final being considered one of the greatest matches ever seen. Some longtime analysts claim that the Djokovic - Nadal rivalry ranks as the best rivalry in tennis history primarily because of the quality of matches they produce. Playing style and equipment Djokovic is an all - court player with emphasis on aggressive baseline play. His groundstrokes from both wings are consistent, deep, and penetrating. His backhand is widely regarded as one of the best in today 's game. His best shot is his backhand down the line, with great pace and precision. He is also known as one of the greatest movers on the court with superior agility, court coverage and defensive ability, which allows him to hit winners from seemingly defensive positions. After great technical difficulties during the 2009 season ( coinciding with his switch to the Head racket series ), his serve 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. Djokovic 's return of serve is a powerful weapon for him, with which he can be both offensive and defensive. Djokovic is rarely aced because of his flexibility, length and balance. Djokovic 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. John McEnroe considers Djokovic to be the greatest returner of serve in the history of the men 's game. Occasionally, Djokovic employs a well - disguised backhand underspin drop shot and sliced backhand. Djokovic commented on the modern style of play, including his own, in interview with Jim Courier after his semi-final win against Andy Murray in the 2012 Australian Open tournament : I had a big privilege and honour to meet personally today Mr. Laver, 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 do n't know to play... we are mostly around here ( points to the area near the baseline ), we are running, you know, around the baseline... Entering the pro circuit, Djokovic used the Head Liquidmetal Radical, but changed sponsors to Wilson in 2005. He could n't find a Wilson racquet he liked, so Wilson agreed to make him a custom racquet to match his previous one with Head. After the 2008 season, Djokovic re-signed with Head, and debuted a new paint job of the Head YouTek Speed Pro at the 2009 Australian Open. 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. 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. In 2012, Djokovic appeared in a television commercial with Maria Sharapova promoting the use of Head rackets for many techniques such as golf and ten - pin bowling. In assessing Djokovic 's 2011 season, Jimmy Connors 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 defence into offence well. Coaching and personal team In the period 2004 and 2005, Djokovic was coached by Dejan Petrovic. From fall 2005 until June 2006, he was coached by Riccardo Piatti, who divided his time between the 18 - year - old and Ivan Ljubičić. Player and coach reportedly parted ways over the latter 's refusal to work full - time with Djokovic. From June 2006 until May 2017, Djokovic was coached by Slovakian former professional tennis player Marián Vajda. They met for the first time during that year 's French Open, after which Vajda was hired to be the 19 - year - old 's coach. On occasion Djokovic employed additional coaches on part - time basis : in 2007, during the spring hardcourt season, he worked with Australian doubles ace Mark Woodforde with specific emphasis on volleys and net play while from August 2009 until April 2010 American Todd Martin joined the coaching team, a period marked by his ill - fated attempt to change Djokovic 's serve motion. From early 2007 until 2017, Djokovic worked with physiotherapist Miljan Amanović, who was previously employed by Red Star Belgrade, and NBA player Vladimir Radmanović. From the fall 2006, Djokovic had an Israeli fitness coach, Ronen Bega, but the two parted ways during spring 2009. Djokovic decided to make a change after identifying his conditioning as a weakness in his game following continual losses to Nadal. In April 2009, ahead of the Rome Masters, Djokovic hired Austrian Gebhard Phil - Gritsch ( formerly worked with Thomas Muster ) to join the team in fitness coach capacity. In July 2010, before the Davis Cup clash away at Croatia, Djokovic made another addition to his team -- nutritionist Igor Četojević who additionally focuses on Chinese medicine and does acupuncture. He allegedly discovered that the tennis player suffers from gluten intolerance, using applied kinesiology, and that he can not eat gluten, purging it from his diet. It appeared to have worked as Djokovic began feeling stronger, quicker, and much more fit. He eventually settled on a vegan diet. He later added the occasional consumption of fish to his dietary regimen. After Djokovic 's Wimbledon win in July 2011, Četojević left the team. A Wall Street Journal article noted, `` He had an otherworldly season in 2011 and has been the world 's most consistent player since. His devotion to his diet has only gotten stronger. ( In 2016 ) he opened a vegan restaurant in Monte Carlo, where he lives. '' After retiring from professional tennis in August 2011, Serbian player Dušan Vemić joined Djokovic 's team as assistant coach and hitting partner for Novak. The collaboration ended before the 2013 US Open. Six - time major champion and former world No. 1 Boris Becker, who had mostly worked as television pundit for BBC Sport and Sky Sports since retiring from playing in 1999, was announced as Djokovic 's new head coach in December 2013. According to Djokovic, the Becker appointment was done with input from the player 's existing head coach Marián Vajda who reportedly wanted to spend more time with his family and was looking to have his coaching workload somewhat reduced. For Becker, in addition to working alongside Vajda, the job entailed special emphasis on Grand Slam tournaments as Djokovic felt he missed out on winning a couple of majors over the previous two seasons due to a lack of mental edge in the final stages of those tournaments. Becker 's first tournament coaching Djokovic was the 2014 Australian Open. On 5 May 2017, Djokovic confirmed that he had come to a mutual agreement to terminate his coaching relationship with Vajda, as well as Phil - Gritsch and Amanović. In a statement on his website, Djokovic cited the reasons for the personnel shakeup : `` Novak and the team members decided to part ways after a detailed analysis of the game, achieved results in the previous period, and also after discussing private plans of each team member. Despite the fantastic cooperation so far, Djokovic felt he needed to make a change, and to introduce new energy in order to raise his level of play. '' Sponsorships and business ventures Djokovic endorses Serbian telecommunications company Telekom Srbija and German nutritional supplement brand FitLine. Since turning professional in 2003, Djokovic has been wearing Adidas clothing. At the end of 2009, Djokovic signed a 10 - year deal with the Italian clothing company Sergio Tacchini after Adidas refused to extend his clothing contract ( choosing instead to sign Andy Murray ). Tacchini does n't make shoes so Djokovic continued with Adidas as his choice of footwear. His sponsorship contract with Tacchini was incentive heavy, and due to Djokovic 's disproportionate success and dominance in 2011, the company fell behind on bonus payments, leading to the termination of the sponsorship contract. From 2011, Djokovic began to wear custom Red and Blue Adidas Barricade 6.0 's shoes, referring to the colours 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 Nike, Inc., but instead, on 23 May 2012, Uniqlo appointed Djokovic as its global brand ambassador. The five - year sponsorship, reportedly worth € 8 million per year, began on 27 May 2012 in Paris ' Roland - Garros French Open Tennis Tournament. A year later, Djokovic 's long - term footwear deal with Adidas was announced ahead of 2013 French Open. Djokovic during the 2017 French Open In August 2011, Djokovic became the brand ambassador of Swiss watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet. Less than a month later, Djokovic signed a sponsorship deal with German car company Mercedes - Benz. In March 2012, Djokovic was announced by Bombardier Aerospace as its latest Learjet brand ambassador, thus joining the likes of actor and pilot John Travolta, architect Frank Gehry, maestro Valery Gergiev, and classical pianist Lang Lang. From January 2014 Djokovic has been endorsing French car manufacturer Peugeot. At the same time he entered into an endorsement deal with Japanese watch manufacturer Seiko, having just ended his affiliation with their rivals Audemars Piguet. In early 2015, ahead of the Australian Open, Djokovic teamed up with Australian banking corporation ANZ for a social media campaign to raise money for local communities across the Asia Pacific region. At the same time his partnership with Jacob 's Creek, an Australian wine brand owned by Orlando Wines, 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 ''. According to Forbes, Djokovic earned US $31 million in endorsements during 2014, behind only Roger Federer ( US $58 million ), Tiger Woods ( $50 million ), Phil Mickelson ( $48 ), LeBron James ( $44 ), Kevin Durant ( $35 ), and Rory McIlroy ( $32 ). Since 2004, the business end of Djokovic 's career has been handled by Israeli managers Amit Naor ( former pro tennis player turned sports agent ) and Allon Khakshouri, the duo that also had Marat Safin and Dinara Safina as their clients. In June 2008, after the duo entered into partnership with CAA Sports, the sports division of Hollywood talent firm Creative Artists Agency, meaning that the famous company started representing tennis players for the first time, Djokovic formally signed with CAA Sports. After Djokovic 's contract with CAA Sports expired during summer 2012, he decided to switch representation, announcing IMG Worldwide as his new representatives in December 2012. On 22 May 2017, Djokovic was unveiled as a brand ambassador of Lacoste after a five - year partnership with Uniqlo. Investments In 2005, as Djokovic moved up the tennis rankings, he ventured into the business world. Most of these activities are channeled through Family Sport, a legal entity in Serbia founded and run by members of his immediate family. Registered as a limited liability company, Family Sport initially focused on hospitality, specifically the restaurant business, by establishing Novak Café & Restaurant, a franchise themed around 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. The company launched Novak Café & Restaurant in 2008 in the Belgrade municipality of Novi Beograd, the flagship location in a franchised chain of theme café - restaurants. During 2009, two more locations were added -- one in Kragujevac and the other in Belgrade, the city 's second, in September at the neighbourhood of Dorćol overlooking the playing courts of Serbia Open whose inaugural edition took place several months earlier. On 16 December 2011 a location in Novi Sad was opened, however, it operated just over three years before closing in late March 2015. It was announced in late 2012 that Djokovic had purchased the entire existing 2013 production of donkey cheese, which is produced by a single farm in Serbia. It was believed that it was done to ensure a reliable supply for his chain of restaurants in Serbia. One week later, it was proven that the story was exaggerated. Banja Luka in neighbouring Republika Srpska got its Novak Café & Restaurant location on 16 October 2015 within Hotel Trešnja on Banj hill. In February 2008, the company reached an agreement with local authorities in the city of Kragujevac about jointly entering into a real estate development deal that was to include 4 hectares of city - owned land at Veliki Park being developed into a tennis centre with 14 courts. But by 2010 the company pulled out of these plans. In March 2008, Family Sport won a municipal authority - organized tender in Novi Beograd by submitting an € 11 million bid for the 3.8 hectares of land located in Ivan Ribar neighbourhood ; with the ambitious plan to build a big tennis centre there. As of spring 2013, construction was yet to commence. In 2009, the company bought an ATP tournament known as the Dutch Open and brought it to Serbia where it was called the Serbia Open. With the help of Belgrade city authorities, the tournament 's inaugural edition was held during May 2009 at the city - owned ' Milan Gale Muškatirović ' courts, located at an attractive spot in Dorćol neighbourhood. On Monday, 4 July 2011, one day after Djokovic won Wimbledon, Family Sport organized the homecoming reception in front of the National Assembly building with more than 80,000 people gathering to greet him. In May 2015, right after winning his fourth Rome Masters title, Djokovic launched a line of nutritional food products, called Djokolife. Unveiled in Milan at the Lombardy regional administrative headquarters, the project saw Djokovic represented by Withers LLP international law firm. Serbian press reported in February 2016 about Djokovic 's uncle 's buying hectares of arable land on their company 's behalf in the Lipovac village near Topola in Serbia 's Šumadija region with a view of turning it into vineyards and moving into the winemaking business. In popular Culture Owing to his extroverted personality, fluency in several languages, and willingness to go along with comedic concepts, Djokovic became a fixture on entertainment - based TV talk shows around the globe immediately upon achieving a measure of prominence via results on the tennis court. After winning the Australian Open, his first major, in early 2008, Djokovic appeared on the American late - night programme The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In May 2008, he was a special guest during the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest, 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, Željko Joksimović, Djokovic sang a song about Belgrade. Boris Malagurski interviewing Djokovic for documentary film Belgrade Throughout late April and early May 2009, during ATP Master Series tournaments in Rome and Madrid, respectively, the Serb was a guest on the Fiorello Show hosted by Italian comedian Rosario Fiorello followed by an appearance on Pablo Motos ' show El Hormiguero. During the week off, in - between the two tournaments, Djokovic came home to Belgrade where he was interviewed by Nenad Lj. Stefanović on the RTS ' hour - long, flagship one - on - one talk programme Svedok. In 2009, and 2010, Djokovic won an Oscar of Popularity for the most popular male athlete in Serbia. Djokovic is also featured in the music video for the song `` Hello '' by Martin Solveig and Dragonette. The video, filmed at Stade Roland Garros, shows Solveig facing off against Bob Sinclar, another DJ, in a tennis match. When the referee calls a crucial ball `` Out '', Djokovic enters the arena and convinces the referee otherwise. In 2010, the Serbian blues - rock band Zona B recorded the song `` The Joker '', dedicating it to Djokovic. Djokovic 's international television appearances particularly intensified during his successful 2011 season. After winning Wimbledon and reaching the No. 1 ranking, he again appeared on Leno 's Tonight Show as well as on Conan O'Brien 's show on TBS. Djokovic 's dramatic win at the US Open was followed by another television blitz including spots on Live with Regis and Kelly, CBS ' The Early Show, NBC 's Today as well as a walk - on appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. On 25 June 2011, its seventieth Congress in Chicago, all the members unanimously awarded Djokovic the Order of Serbian National Defense in America I class, the highest decoration of the SND. The order was given to him because of his merits in the international sport scene and his contributions to the reputation of Serbs and Serbia around the world. In mid-November 2011, he made a triumphant return to Rai 1 's Il più grande spettacolo dopo il weekend, hosted by Fiorello. In late November during the ATP World Tour Finals in London he was a guest on David Frost 's interview programme Frost Over The World on Al Jazeera English. He was voted the 19th most influential man on AskMen.com 's Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2011. On invitation from film producer Avi Lerner, Djokovic became part of the high - budget Hollywood movie production The Expendables 2 in a cameo playing himself, which he shot on 29 November 2011 in a warehouse in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia. However, his bit part was cut out of the final version of the movie. He appeared on the cover of Italian GQ 's March 2012 issue. Also, in March he was profiled on the CBS show 60 Minutes by their correspondent Bob Simon. He was named amongst the 100 most influential people of 2012 by TIME magazine. On 26 October 2012, he appeared on Canal+ 's Le Grand Journal. Djokovic with Emir Kusturica in Andrićgrad in January 2014, where he received Key to the City Before the 2014 US Open, Djokovic went on the Late Show with David Letterman on 19 August 2014. In February 2015, following his 2015 Australian Open win, Djokovic made a return appearance on RTS ' Svedok for another hour - long sitdown with Nenad Lj. Stefanović in prime time. His 2015 Wimbledon win got him a spot via a live linkup on CBS This Morning where he was interviewed by Charlie Rose and Gayle King. In late August 2015, ahead of the 2015 US Open, shortly after his appointment as the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador was announced, Djokovic appeared on All in with Chris Hayes on MSNBC, also publicizing his foundation 's partnership with the World Bank to promote early childhood development. Two weeks later, the day after his US Open win, Djokovic went on another blitz of the New York City - based media. Starting with the morning shows -- with a return to NBC 's Today for an in - studio interview with Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, and Carson Daly followed by a return to CBS This Morning, this time in studio, with Charlie Rose, Gayle King, and Norah O'Donnell, and finally a guest spot on Live ! with Kelly and Michael. Later in the day he went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert late - night comedy programme for a walk - on appearance that included firing a serve at Stephen Colbert who hid behind Captain America 's shield. Djokovic is also popular on video sharing sites due to his famous imitations of other tennis players such as Maria Sharapova, Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams and Ana Ivanovic. Philanthropy In 2007, Djokovic founded the Novak Djokovic Foundation. The organization 's mission is to help children from disadvantaged communities to grow up and develop in stimulating and safe environments. In August 2015, Djokovic was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. The foundation partnered with the World Bank in August 2015 to promote early childhood education in Serbia. Following his historic 2016 Australian Open victory, Djokovic donated $20,000.00 to Melbourne City Mission 's early childhood education programme to help disadvantaged children.

In the early 1980s his family moved to Belgrade. Srđan 's grandfather Neđeljko with his wife Sara moved from Jasenovo Polje ( sr ) near Nikšić ( now in Montenegro ) in the 1920s to Voćnjak in Metohija, receiving lands for serving in the wars. During World War II the family fled Albanian threats and took refuge at the house of relative Novak, after whom Novak was named. After the war, Vladimir, Srđan 's father, returned to Metohija and then settled Kosovska Mitrovica in 1951. The Đoković family ultimately hails from Čevo, which it left in 1730 after ancestor Đoko Damjanović killed a Turk. The family celebrates the Serbian Orthodox family feast day ( slava ) of Aranđelovdan. Novak 's mother Dijana ( née Žagar ) was born in Belgrade. Her parents Zdenko and Elizabeta, who worked in the Yugoslav military as pharmaceut and nurse respectively, moved to Belgrade from Vinkovci in eastern Croatia. Jump up ^ Clay, Grass and Hardcourt.
