Jelena Djokovic says Novak Djokovic has always been committed to helping others and that's one of the main reasons behind his decision to launch the Novak Djokovic foundation. 

"Novak has always been very passionate and committed to the idea of giving back and helping younger generations. This is something he is dedicated to on and off the court. He always stresses how lucky he was to have the care, love, and support from an early age from his family, and how much their belief in him and his dreams meant to his success," Jelena Djokovic told LEADERS magazine. "This is why now, through our Foundation, he is able to do just that: provide this support system so that other children like him can dare to dream."

Djokovic pays a visit when his schedule allows him

The headquarters of the Novak Djokovic Foundation are in Belgrade and Djokovic loves to occasionally pay a visit and spend some time with children. 

"Of course, when his tennis schedule allows for some time off, he is the first one to come and support our work, the team, to greet our partners and donors, listen to the problems we wish to solve, and offer his ideas and suggestions – but his favorite activity is playtime with the children we help," she added.

The Novak Djokovic Foundation develops early childhood education projects in Serbia. 

"Ten years since we changed our mission and 15 since we founded the Foundation, we have helped more than 50,000 children through our comprehensive programs and projects. We have also trained more than 2,200 teachers, empowered 8,000 parents, built 11 playgrounds, and opened 52 preschools across Serbia," Jelena revealed.

Djokovic is currently at home as he is resting following his Wimbledon victory. 

Djokovic hasn't been vaccinated against COVID-19 and he will likely be forced to skip the Masters events in Montreal and Cincinnati, as well as the US Open.
