Novak Djokovic donates over $200k for charitable cause after Paris Olympics triumph

Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic has donated a hefty sum to a charitable cause. The 37-year-old is often regarded as the greatest player in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era in the singles category, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles in his illustrious career.

As per the latest report, Djokovic has donated a sum of more than $200,000 to charitable causes. The report stated that he received the prize money after his heroics in the Paris Olympics. The Belgrade-born star recently completed his trophy cabinet after winning the gold medal for his country at the Paris Olympics. He defeated Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the final in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6. After the win, Djokovic burst into tears of joy, and it was visible what that result meant to him as it was the only big title that was missing from his trophy cabinet.

Djokovic’s win was an even more special one, considering that he suffered a serious injury while playing at the same venue where he won the gold medal just months before during the French Open. The current world number two suffered a knee injury just before the start of the quarterfinal at the Roland Garros against Norway’s Casper Ruud.

That injury not only ruled Djokovic out of the clash but also forced him to undergo knee surgery. That surgery put his participation in the upcoming mega events at risk. However, not only did he return to the court soon after but also produced some significant performances. Before appearing in the Paris Olympics, Djokovic played at Wimbledon where he went all the way to the final. He ended up losing the grand finale to Alcaraz who lifted the title for the second year in a row in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6.
