"Giving me whatever I need for my career": Rising ATP star being helped with guidance and finances by Novak Djokovic

Rising ATP star Hamad Medjedovic has revealed that the current world number one Novak Djokovic has helped him in more than one way in his career.

The 36-year-old is famous for raising his voice regarding the financial structure of the sport. It is for this reason, that he became the co-founder of an organisation called the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA).

Medjedovic was recently quoted in a report where he stated that Djokovic has given him whatever he needed to succeed at the highest level.
