Date of Birth: July 17, 1995

Zodiac Sign: Cancer

Djordje is the youngest of the two-tennis playing Djokovic siblings. He has been long marked as a special talent. Just as his elder brother Marko, he also struggles with the pecks of being the brother of a superstar. Djordjie says his biggest problem is mental and it has to do with the need to create his own name. Everyone looks at him through the eyes of Novak and this makes a lot of pressure for him.

Novak on the other hand has been very loving and supportive of his brother. After winning the 2008 Australian Open, the great tennis player asserted that Djordje was the more talented one but this harmless comment placed even greater expectations on the youngest Djokovic. He gets direct invitations to play against much more stronger men all because of his name.  He loses such competitions and this ultimately weakens his growing confidence.

Through all of these emotional discomforts, Djordje is determined to come out strong. Knowing that talent is just 2%, he is determined to keep working hard and he hopes that this hard work pays off soonest. One of his biggest aspirations is to one day play against his brother at the Grand Slam court.
