The 36-year-old Serb's wife also shed light on the difference that the Novak Djokovic Foundation has managed to make since its inception. "We have come a long way. When our work started, every second child in Serbia attended preschool. In rural areas, these numbers were even more striking – one in every four children. This meant they had to stay home with their parents or grandparents, without options to play and learn with their peers, and this, in turn, debilitated their start in life," Jelena explained.
