Djokovic is currently enjoying some time off the court skiing in Italy, but as he prepares for Indian Wells, he will hope to give back to the kids of the future with this latest helping hand. A player who as well as being legendary on the court is very much the same off the court when it comes to helping others whether rising tennis players or in this case, disadvantaged children.

"Every child deserves their place in a kindergarten, and with your and our help, 60 children from the Rvati village in Raska will get their own kindergarten and the opportunity to grow up in a safe and stimulating environment. In the sixth Season of Giving, we raised 87,111 euros," the foundation penned on their Instagram page.

"As in past years, the donations were doubled by our founders, Novak and Jelena Djokovic, meaning that a total of 174,222 euros will be used for the kindergarten’s construction, repair, and equipment. Our initial goal was the kindergarten in Rvati, and since we exceeded it, we are happy to be able to donate more money to preschools all around Serbia."
