Next year Amazon Prime will take us along on Djokovic’s quest with a reality series — or docu-series — that puts viewers up close and personal with the accomplished, interesting, always engaging man.
“Novak” — as the series is called for now — will track the Serbian superstar throughout the 2017 season. The series will focus on everything from Djokovic’s stringent diet and fitness regimen to his charitable work and personal life.
