After winning his 100th title in Geneva in May, Novak Djokovic continues to amaze the public with his performances. At 38 years old, the tennis player seems to have secured his future by investing in several companies and turning more and more towards the health and wellness sector.
Born into a family of former skiers who had gone back to catering, Novak Djokovic started playing tennis at the age of five in Kopaonik, a village in Serbia. At the age of 12, when war broke out in his native country, he joined the tennis academy of Nikola Pilić in Munich, his parents being convinced of the young boy’s ambition to become a great player. In 2003, aged 16, he became a professional.
100 ATP titles in single
Two years later, after reaching the semi-final of the Australian Open in junior, he is ranked 188th without even having reached the majority. At the age of 18, he passes 78th and shines in the Roland-Garros tournament.
The following years, Novak Djokovic shines on the court and becomes number 1 in 2011. In total, he spent 428 weeks on pole position in the world rankings. To date, the athlete has won 100 ATP titles in singles with records of 24 Grand Slam tournaments, 7 Masters and 40 Masters 1000, as well as Olympic gold, the 2010 Davis Cup and the 2020 ATP Cup.
