Novak Djokovic has become a phenomenon in tennis. The Serbian star was the first player to break Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s Grand Slam streak at the Australian Open in 2008. Fifteen years later, the tennis star is yet to lose momentum, as he clinched his 24th Grand Slam title at the US Open in September and his 36th Masters title at the Cincinnati Open.
