Novak Djokovic: The Sporting Statesman

Journalist and broadcaster Chris Bowers paints two powerfully vivid portraits of Novak Djokovic and Serbia, the country of his birth. He traces Djokovic’s story from his modest surroundings, to how he met the woman who taught him the game of tennis and how to deal with life as an icon and superstar of the game. The book also charts his battle with illness and his relationship with his volatile father. Bower tells the story of Serbia – pulling no punches about its role in the wars of the 1990s – while offering a sensitive interpretation of the hopes and aspirations of a people living with the legacy of a troubled past. The author has woven together these powerful threads to present a sensitive portrait of a man and his people.
