"Fake news": Novak Djokovic responds to circulated reports surrounding potential purchase of Manolo Santana's tennis club in Marbella

Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic has denied reports that he is planning to buy Manolo Santana's club. There has been reports circulating in the media in the recent past suggesting that the 36-year-old has been in discussions with the wife of late Spanish tennis player Manolo Santana to take over his club.

However, Djokovic, in a post on his official account on social media platform X—previously known as Twitter—denied those reports and called those rumours ‘fake news’.

The Belgrade-born is regarded as the greatest player in the history of tennis in the men’s single category in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles. Djokovic had a fabulous year at the highest level where he ended up winning three out of four Grand Slam titles.

His only defeat in the major event in 2023 came in the final at Wimbledon where he lost to Spain’s young tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.

Djokovic ended the season on a high as well as he lifted the ATP Finals event in Turin after defeating Italy’s star tennis player Jannik Sinner in the final with a score of 6-3, 6-3.
