BREAKING: Novak Djokovic and his son Stefan have just wiped out $667,000 in school lunch debt across 22 Serbian schools — a gesture Novak called “a victory greater than any Grand Slam I’ve ever held.”
BREAKING: Novak Djokovic and his son Stefan have just wiped out $667,000 in school lunch debt across 22 Serbian schools — a gesture Novak called “a victory greater than any Grand Slam I’ve ever held.”
In a quiet act of father-and-son compassion, Novak and seven-year-old Stefan paid off every unpaid lunch bill they could find — ensuring thousands of children from Belgrade to Novi Sad can walk into school each morning with dignity, a full tray, and no fear of being turned away or shamed for being hungry.
Speaking through emotion, Novak said:
“I’ve lifted trophies in four countries in the same year… but nothing weighs on your heart like knowing a child might sit through class without food. Today is bigger than tennis. Today is about children.”
Little Stefan — standing close, fingers wrapped around his father’s hand — added in a trembling voice that melted every heart in the room:
“Every kid is somebody’s best friend. I just wanted them to have lunch like I do.”
Teachers cried. Parents thanked them. Children clapped and laughed, unaware that their simple lunch — something many take for granted — had just been secured by two people who will never ask for anything in return.
This wasn’t about headlines.
It wasn’t about image.
It was about a father teaching his son that real greatness is measured not in trophies… but in kindness.
Two Djokovics.
One extraordinary act of love.
And thousands of full stomachs — and full hearts — across Serbia
