how old was djokovic when he started playing tennis
Novak Djokovic Djokovic began playing tennis at the age of four.[29] In the summer of 1993, the six-year-old was spotted by Yugoslav tennis player Jelena Genčić[30] at Mount Kopaonik, where Djokovic's parents ran a fast-food parlour.[31] Upon seeing the child Djokovic playing tennis, she stated: "This is the greatest talent I have seen since Monica Seles."[18]
Novak Djokovic Djokovic started the year by playing the Hopman Cup with fellow Serbian world No. 3 Jelena Janković. While he won all his round-robin matches, the team lost 1–2 in the final to the second-seeded American team of Serena Williams and Mardy Fish. At the Australian Open, Djokovic reached his second consecutive Grand Slam final without dropping a set, including a victory over two-time defending champion Federer in the semi-finals.[70] By reaching the semi-finals, Djokovic became the youngest player to have reached the semi-finals in all four Grand Slam events.[71] In the final, Djokovic defeated unseeded Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in four sets to earn his first Grand Slam singles title.[72] This marked the first time since the 2005 Australian Open that a Grand Slam singles title was not won by Federer or Nadal.[72]

He became only the second man in history to have defeated Nadal at the tournament (after Robin Soderling in 2009), and the first to do so in straight sets.[229]
