Srdjan Djokovic has previously courted controversy with his public statements.
In the Serbian capital Belgrade, he led boisterous protests filled with flag-waving demonstrators and held his own heated press conferences where he compared Novak Djokovic's plight to that of Jesus Christ.Srdjan Djokovic, who was raised in a small mining town in Kosovo, moved to Belgrade when he was a teenager. He was a skiing instructor when he met his wife. Novak Djokovic is the couple's first child together.
This has meant that Novak Djokovic has seemingly been under the strict guidance of his father throughout his time as a tennis pro and earlier. This came at a cost for the family. The father has said he even sold the family's gold at rock-bottom prices and turned to loan sharks for money to help fund his son as he began playing on the pro tour.
His parents' devotion has meant that Novak Djokovic has had all his parents could offer, often at the detriment of his siblings, with Srdjan Djokovic telling Serbian media:"Only Novak mattered. All of us... were irrelevant. Everything was done so he could achieve what he did."
