BIOGRAPHY

NOVAK DJOKOVIC

Novak is a Serbian professional tennis player, who is currently ranked world number 2. He was born in Belgrade in 1987.
He started playing tennis when he was 4 years old and he played his first international competition when he was fourteen. 3 years ago Djoković defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final, becoming the first player representing Serbia to win a Grand Slam singles title and the youngest player in the open era to have reached the semifinals of all four Grand Slam events.

Although his father wanted he to become a football player or a skier  he decided to be a tennis player because he loved the sport since he was a child.

His streghths are his groundstrokes, serve and defence. He is good with both arms but his backhand is his preferred stroke. At th esame time, his serve is one of his best weapons. He has won many free points with it.
So his best shot is backhand down the line. And  although he can play in any surface he prefers hard courts.
He has won several tournaments since he first played tennis, most known are Australian Open in 2008 and the bronze medal in th eOñympic Games of Beijin.
