Awards will be numerous for world no.1 Novak Djokovic after a year that saw the Serb win three major titles and prove unbeatable in a handful of Masters 1000. Another to add to the list is GQ magazine’s Ace of the Year.

Djokovic came out on top in the tennis poll of the world revered men’s general-interest magazine that boasts a monthly readership of 6.6 million readers.

The Serb, who is recognized in the December issue of the magazine, is joined on the exclusive list by the likes of Jay-Z (King of the Year), Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake (Showmen of the Year) and Gary Oldman (Icon of the Year).

In the GQ article, written by Tom Scocca, Djokovic admitted: “I’ve matured as a player,” he says. “I’ve matured as a person. I know what to do. I know how to handle my life, my career.

“I just wasn’t consistent enough, and I just wasn’t actually believing enough that I could get it together and start winning more major events and be No. 1.”
