The biography of the future tennis player began on May 22, 1987 in the territory of the former Yugoslavia, in the city of Belgrade. By the sign of the zodiac Gemini. Novak himself admits that he owes his success to his parents, mother Diyana and father Srdjan, who constantly supported his eldest son in sports endeavors. In the Djokovic family, Novak is the first to devote himself to tennis. His father excelled in another sport - football, and was a professional pilot.

Novak picked up his first racket when he was four years old. When the boy was six, he was noticed by the famous Serbian tennis player Elena Gencic. She told his parents that she was one of the most talented children she had ever met. So Srdjan and Diyana began to take care of their son's sports career. Gencic until 1999 coached the future sports star, as Novak himself admits, Elena devoted a lot of time to him, teaching the basics of tennis. Often in interviews, the athlete compares the first coach with his second mother.

When the boy was 11 years old, NATO planes began bombing Belgrade. He celebrated his 12th birthday in a bomb shelter. In an interview with CBS, Novak said that despite the chaos around him, he tries to remember this time brightly and positively. He says the kids weren't going to school, so he had more time to play tennis. But the war cost him 76 nights, which during the bombing Novak spent in the basement, deprived him of sleep and made him feel fear.

His coach Elena Gencic tried to continue training her ward at this time.
