World No. 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic has got a huge recognition from his native Serbia, which has celebrated his achievements by issuing stamps featuring him.

Djokovic, who has so far won 20 Major titles, made history recently by securing the year-end No. 1 ATP ranking for a record seventh time, breaking the tie with American legend Pete Sampras.

“An honour to receive my very own Serbian stamp. Thank you to my generous country for this rare gift! I’m humbled!!” Djokovic wrote on Twitter. “Gratitude for everyone that brought this together. Now Jelena Djokovic and I will take some stamps home for the kids to write to Santa.”

The artwork was done by Boban Savic, with references to some of Djokovic’s greatest accomplishments. — Agencies
