The New Kid On The Court.
Another Djorkovic is on his way to be a top player.
Novak’s younger brother Marko is starting to move up the rankings.
Marko made his ATP World Tour debut in 2008 and reached his highest tour ranking of 628 in November 2010. Older brother Novak has won 29 singles tournaments, including three Australian Open, one Wimbledon and one US Open titles, since his maiden tour victory in 2006. But Marko added: “A brother like that is a privilege. He’s helping me a lot.
The younger Djokovic crashed out of the Dubai Championships against Kazakhstan’s Andrey Golubev in a straight-sets first round defeat on Monday. Marko, who did not play for 10 months last year after injuring his wrist, believes his opponents step up their game because of his illustrious name.
We will have to keep an eye on how Marko does this year.
