Noval Djokovic celebrated in new “artistic court” in Clichy (France)

Novak Djokovic has inspired the tennis world and beyond during the last decade with his success on court and his charitable actions off courts.

The Serbian legend has now 17 slams under his belt and arguably many consider it just a matter of time until he will be able to break Roger Federer’s record of 20 majors.

Novak Djokovic was celebrated in Belgrade with a statue and now he has a court dedicated to him in Clichy (France). The court has been designed by Youssef Sy and Opera Graphiks and it was commissioned by a non-profit organization called Etendart.

Opera Graphiks posted the following message on Instagram:

“The DJOKER project is finally coming to an end … A big thank you to all those who trusted me … I was delighted to take part in the @teamcourtside project which promotes integration through sport by renovating sports infrastructures with the collaboration of international artists. Thus, educational programs for young people who need them the most will very quickly be put in place this summer …”
