Zusammenfassung
The compelling biography of Novak Djokovic, the greatest male tennis player of all time - looking at past events, his beliefs and what has made him one of the most enigmatic and successful sportsmen throughout history.

Delve inside the mind of the greatest tennis player of all time.

No man or woman has won more Grand Slam singles titles than Novak Djokovic, who took his 24th major at the 2023 US Open. Based on fresh interviews with people close to Djokovic - including his friends and mentors, along with his former coaches and his rivals - this is an in-depth exploration of the psyche of one of the most fascinating and controversial sporting characters ever. From a bomb shelter in Belgrade to an immigration detention centre in Melbourne, and everywhere in between, this book uncovers his relentless pursuit of perfection and the unconventional beliefs that have propelled him to greatness.

Rage. Forgiveness. Shame. Pride. Love. 'Searching for Novak' examines the psychological and emotional side of rewriting tennis history.
