BELGRADE: Novak Djokovic´s uncle Goran Djokovic was on Friday appointed president of the Serbian tennis federation with the ambition of building a national training centre.
Previously federation vice-president, Goran Djokovic has also been involved in organising ATP tournaments in Belgrade and Sofia.
“My tennis experience mainly comes from Novak, but I also spent seven years as director of the Serbia Open and Sofia Open,” Djokovic said after his election.
“My goal is to keep improving what we´ve started, with finances being the key.
“We don´t have our own facilities, we don´t have a National Training Centre, and I want to resolve that. I wouldn´t have even run for this position if we didn´t have the full support of the president of Serbia.” Former world number one Novak Djokovic has won 24 Grand Slam trophies. The 37-year-old, who won Olympic gold in Paris, is currently ranked fourth in the world.
