His name is NOVAK DJOKOVIC from Belgrade in Serbia. No 1 by ATP since 4 July 2011 and win 5 Grand slams. He started playing tennis at the age of four (4). In the summer 1993, the six-year-old was spotted by Yugoslav tennis legend Jelena Genčić (woman who plays tennis and handball) at Serbian Mount Kopaonik where Djokovic's parents ran a fast-food parlour. Genčić worked with young Djokovic over the following six years before realizing that, due to his rapid development, going abroad in search of increased level of competition was the best option for his future. To that end, she contacted Nikola Pilić, and in September 1999, the 12-year-old moved to the Pilić tennis academy in Oberschleißheim, Germany, spending four years there. At age 14, he began his international career, winning European championships in singles, doubles, and team competition.
