On Monday, BBC tennis commentator John McEnroe jokingly suggested the legend could "retire on the spot" if he played another set as badly as his opening one against Alex de Minaur in the fourth round, which he lost 6-1.

Married to Jelena Djokovic with two children, Stefan and Tara, the 38-year-old has a whopping netted £138million in prize money for singles and doubles tournaments around the globe in the course of his tennis career.

As well as Grand Slam wins, he has 40 ATP 1000 titles and he is the only player to complete the Career Golden Masters by winning all ATP 1000 tournaments of the tennis calendar - twice.

But Novak's net worth is far higher, at £193million. This includes huge brand deals - the player was sponsored by Adidas until 2009 before signing a ten-year deal with Sergio Tacchini.

In 2012, he penned a five-year brand ambassador deal with Uniqlo that was reportedly worth just under £7m-a-year and in 2017, he ended his deal with Uniqlo and signed with Lacoste as a brand ambassador instead.

The list of marquee brands affiliated with Djokovic also includes the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Seiko. Between June 2018 and June 2019 alone, he earned an astonishing £40million from sponsorships.

Since its inception in 2007, the charity has built 73 preschools, trained over 2,000 teachers and impacted over 56,500 children.
