What country is Novak Djokovic from?

Novak Djokovic is from Serbia.

On May 22, 1987, in Belgrade, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia, Novak Djokovic was born to Dijana and Srdjan Djokovic. His Serbian paternal ancestry predominates over his Croatian maternal ancestry. His two younger brothers, Marko and Djordje, were both professional tennis players.

The Association of Tennis Professionals has ranked Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic as the world's top singles player at the moment. Djokovic has held the top spot in the world rankings for a record 387 weeks over a record 12 different years, and he has also achieved this feat seven times.

He has won a record-setting ten Australian Open titles in addition to a joint-record 22 Grand Slam men's singles titles. His 93 singles victories overall include a record 66 major victories, which include his 22 majors, a record 38 Masters titles, and a joint-record six year-end titles.

Djokovic is also the only person to complete the career Golden Masters in singles by winning all nine ATP Masters tournaments, a feat he accomplished twice, and the first man in the Open Era to accomplish a double career Grand Slam in singles by winning all four majors at least twice.

What is the playing style of Novak Djokovic?

Djokovic plays with a strong baseline and consistently deep, penetrating groundstrokes from both wings. Due to its effectiveness on both sides of the court, his backhand is regarded as one of the best in the modern game. His backhand down the line, executed with great speed and accuracy, is his best shot.

With regard to return points, return games, and break points won, Djokovic consistently places among the top players on the tour. He particularly excels at returning serves. His serve is one of his main weapons, and his first serve is typically hit flat, while his second serve is more often kicked and sliced wide.

Djokovic has been referred to as one of the fittest and most complete athletes in sporting history. He has excellent court coverage, mobility, and agility, which enable him to hit winners from positions that would seem unstoppable.

The ability to be both offensive and defensive with his serve return gives Djokovic a powerful tool. His high level of efficiency on both the forehand and backhand returns allows him to frequently put the ball back in play quickly and deep, negating the usual advantage the server has in a point.

Djokovic occasionally uses a drop shot, a slice backhand, and a well-covered backhand underspin. One of his biggest flaws is his smash, as he is prone to botching the shot in crucial situations like the 2008 Olympics.

What is Novak Djokovic up to in 2023?

By winning the Adelaide International and earning his 92nd career victory, Novak Djokovic had a strong start to the 2023 season. He competed against Nick Kyrgios in an exhibition match despite worries about a hamstring injury.

Djokovic tied Rafael Nadal's record of 22 major singles titles for men when he defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final to win his 10th Australian Open title. He also regained the top spot in the world rankings. Steffi Graf's record for the most weeks spent at the top of the world rankings was equaled by Djokovic, who later broke it, holding the record for 378 weeks.

Later on, though, he experienced some setbacks. Due to visa issues resulting from his unvaccinated status, he was unable to compete in the Indian Wells Masters. His early exits from the Banja Luka Open and the Monte-Carlo Masters, followed by his withdrawal from the Madrid Open, were additional setbacks.
