Belgrade, Serbia – In a momentous event for Serbian sports, Novak Djokovic — widely regarded as the greatest tennis player in history — officially opened a brand-new tennis court in New Belgrade this week. The ceremony drew a crowd of excited fans, young athletes, and local officials, all eager to witness a historic moment led by their national hero.

Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion and global ambassador of tennis, expressed his deep pride and gratitude for being able to give back to the community where his journey began. “This is more than just a court,” Djokovic said during the inauguration. “It’s a symbol of hope, opportunity, and belief for every young child who dreams of making it in tennis — just like I did.”

The newly opened court is part of a larger initiative by the Novak Djokovic Foundation, which focuses on providing resources and infrastructure for youth development in Serbia. Located in a public park in New Belgrade, the court is open to the public and aims to provide free access to children and aspiring tennis players from all backgrounds.

Local officials praised Djokovic not only for his athletic achievements but also for his commitment to philanthropy and community development. “Novak is a global icon, but more importantly, he is a true patriot. His contributions to our country go far beyond tennis,” said one city representative.

Fans gathered for the ribbon-cutting ceremony were thrilled when Djokovic hit the first serve on the new court, joined by several young tennis players who trained with him briefly during the event. “It was like a dream,” said one 10-year-old participant. “I got to hit balls with Novak!”

The opening of the court is expected to inspire a new wave of interest in tennis across Serbia and reinforce Djokovic’s legacy not just as a champion on the court, but also as a lifelong advocate for sport, youth, and national pride.
