BELGRADE – From bombed-out Belgrade to the world’s tennis throne. Novak Djokovic is far from the end of his career, but he is already a legend. His father Srdjan claims that the popular “Nole” is the best tennis player and athlete in history. Strong words? Maybe yes, maybe no…
After the unfortunate end of the US Open, the Serbian giant took a longer break from tennis. He had his teeth full, because he had heard from all over the world how little he missed to balance Rod Laver’s iconic notation.
An ordinary person can hardly imagine the great pressure Djokovic had to face. In an uncompromising and often quite unpleasant environment in Flushing Meadows, he had to achieve something that no one had succeeded for a long, long 52 years. Not even the Federers with Nadal.

It did not work. The vision of a unique record also made Djokovic, a man who is “said” to be the most resilient and mentally strong tennis player in history. But in that New York final, he was completely clueless. No vigor, no juice, no plan.
On the other side of the court stood the Russian longhorn Daniil Medvedev, and the battle for the last grand slam title of the season tasted like the best cake from his grandmother. He played flawlessly, effectively and efficiently and had a clear plan that he fulfilled on the star unit. He won three times 6: 4.
An unorthodox Medvedev ended a 27-match world-class winning streak in the Big Four tournaments and retaliated for the final loss of this year’s Australian Open.
Little retribution for New York
After the long-awaited break, the Belgrade native returned to the action at the ATP Masters 1000 indoor tournament in Paris, where, although hot-hard, he still made it to the finals. The old acquaintance Medvedev was waiting for him there, but this time it was played according to the Serbian scenario.
Djokovic won his 37th title at the thousand level and one of them broke away from Rafael Nadal. He recorded another historic milestone in the French capital, when he secured the post of the end-of-year world unit seven times as he advanced to the finals, which no one else could have done before. He thus became independent from his childhood and teen model, the American bomber Pete Sampras.
“Of course, when I beat one of the former champions and especially a player like Pete Sampras, whom I admired as a child, it’s something special for me. I have a lot of motivation to continue. I want to prove that I can break all records.” he said after the final victory over Medvedev.
In addition to the prestigious title and two records, the fact that his family, his wife Jelena and two cute children – a daughter Tara (4) and a son Stefan (7), supported him in the aspect of the famous Bercy Hall, had to keep him at heart.
Beautiful shots!
A family victory

Serbia, celebrate Novak
Srdjan and Dijan’s parents did not travel to Paris, but at least they supported their son at a distance from his native Belgrade. The proud father was lucky after Djokovic’s 86th tournament title and told the Sport Club that Novak is the best athlete on the planet.
“I’m as excited as most of the world. We all rejoice in the victory of our Novak, our Serb, a boy who comes from this nation. He is the best tennis player and athlete of all time. Remember – the best athlete in history comes from Serbia. Who knows if It will be repeated. It spreads the glory of Serbia and its people around the world. We have become respected and respected. We are no longer what we have been for in recent decades. Serbia, celebrate Novak, because words are no longer enough! ” rejoiced proud father Srdjan Djokovič, who in the past was famous for several controversial statements about Roger Federer and did not spare strong words this time either: “It is impossible for someone with such a dose of charisma and sporting spirit to come from a nation other than the Serbian. Even if Novak ends his career, he will forever be the best in history.”
So that you don’t think that hymns are poured only from Serbia, we will give one example from behind the sea …
“People, tell me all to me – Novak Djokovic is the best player of all time,” former excellent American tennis player Patrick McEnroe wrote on Twitter.
Say it with me people….
Novak Djokovic is the greatest male tennis player… .ever

Novak Djokovic has already broken the record hill and many others must be on the lookout for him. He will perform next time at the Champions Tournament (November 14 – November 21), which is moving from London to Turin after many years.
The most successful man at the prestigious event of the best tennis players in the world is Roger Federer with six titles, the Serbian hero has one less on his account.
Should another historical record be drawn?
