World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has been a true ambassador of this sport for the past decade. After trailing behind the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, he’s now level with both at 20 Grand Slam titles each. Ever since becoming a prominent figure in tennis, the Serb has had his own charitable institution, the Novak Djokovic Foundation.
His wife, Jelena Djokovic, is the co-founder and director of the organization. The main focus is to take care of underprivileged children.

Novak Djokovic Foundation reaches a milestone
The whole campaign was a great initiative by Novak and his wife, Jelena. They recently set up their 48th school to aid the education of children who are less privileged. The tagline of their foundation reads, “Every child needs a champion to believe in their dreams“. Thanks to Nole, these kids certainly have a brighter future.
Coming to tennis, Djokovic was last seen at the US Open. He lost in the final to Daniil Medvedev and has not been seen since then. However, he intends to make a comeback to represent Serbia in the Davis Cup 2021. We wish him all the best in the upcoming matches and for the rest of the season.
