Novak Djokovic Honoured at Globe Sports Awards
Novak Djokovic’s impact on tennis was recognised on a global stage when he received the Globe Sports Award, presented to him by fellow sporting legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo, who handed over the trophy, praised Djokovic’s influence and consistency over the years.
Novak Djokovic is a role model. He deserves this award because he is a great role model for this generation, and for the old and new generations.”
The ceremony also featured a tribute video that reflected on Djokovic’s journey, from overcoming early hardship to building one of the most successful careers in sports history. Rather than focusing only on victories, the tribute emphasised perseverance and mindset.
One line from the tribute captured the message clearly:
“It’s not who you beat in the game, it’s what you beat in life.”
Although the Globe Soccer Awards usually focus on football, Djokovic received an honorary award for his long career, consistency, and impact on sport beyond tennis. His ability to stay at the top for so many years has made him someone many athletes look up to.
