5-Year-Old Novak Djokovic Enjoys an Ice Cream as a Reward After Tennis Practice
Novak Djokovic has had an impeccable tennis career filled with many glories. The Serb started playing the sport at the age of four. Further, he worked hard during his junior days to quickly move up the ranks. Despite the hardships faced due to the political situation back home, it did not deter the Serb to excel in tennis.
Subsequently, Djokovic has gone on to become one of the greatest players the sport has ever seen. He is a member of the famed ‘Big Three’ in tennis, comprising Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal along with him. Over his career spanning over 15 years, the 34-year-old has gone on to win an incredible 20 Grand Slam titles.
Recently, a video surfaced of Djokovic as a five-year-old.
