Novak Djokovic has donated his entire prize money for winning the Internazionali BNL d’Italia title in Rome to his foundation to help the flood relief efforts in Serbia.

Heavy rainfall in Bosnia and Serbia from 14-16 May has affected more than 1.6 million people, with at least 48 people dying as a result of the flooding.

Please help him raise money for the victims of this terrible natural disaster. Donate Now

Editors Note : Bravo to Novak Djokovic. That was a very generous gesture donating your entire check to the disaster relief. We love him for that. We also agree with him that the floods were not getting enough global attention for Serbians relief needs. The ” Tennis Family ” always helps in global causes.

Additional Tidbit : One of the nicest, handsome, charming, witty, player favorite, and fan favorite guys within the tennis family is Andrew Krasny. He does on court announcing all over the world. Andrew recently ran across a kid in a bike shop that needed a break. Andrew gave it to him. Go check out his website. He is my hero for giving a kid a new smile. Bravo guys !!
