Novak Djokovic has slowly spread his wings inside the tennis world and out of it. In Serbia , he owns a restaurant, a tennis club, a tennis academy and an ATP 250 event.

However, Djokovic leaves much of the running of his businesses to his father Srdjan and his uncle, Goran, while he focuses on his tennis.

“Luckily for me I have a group of people that are qualified to do the business side of my career, and everything is working well so far,” he said despite rumors that the family is trying to sell the sanction to the April ATP tournament. “I try always to dedicate myself as much as I can to the development of new up and coming tennis players, especially the ones who are coming into our academy and practicing there. It’s nice because you can also form your own tennis school and tennis academy and allow new tennis players to have all the possible conditions to become professional tennis players.”
