Résumé :

Winner of 17 grand slams, Novak Djokovic has nothing to envy his big rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Except maybe the popularity. The war in Yugoslavia left a deep mark on him during his childhood. In the early 1990s, he discovered tennis. Then, from the 2000s, it was a meteoric rise. It connects major tournaments and titles.

On the courts, the Serbian player does not hesitate to put himself forward. He regularly does the show with the public. But, his behavior still arouses a priori. He recently sparked controversy for hosting a covid-19 pandemic tournament.

To try to capture this character, Source code traces the history of the world number one with Eric Bruna, journalist at the Sports Department of Paris.
