Djokovic makes a movie with Netflix

According to L 'Équipe, the episodes chronicle Djokovic's entire career journey at Roland Garros. This is considered Netflix's deep gratitude to Nole, who is considered the greatest tennis player in history and one of the icons of tennis. Three years ago, Amazon Prime also produced a short film about Nole called "Refuse to fail".

Djokovic joined hands with Netflix to tell the story behind the historic victories at the clay court in Paris. The series, tentatively titled "Djokovic: Eternity on Clay ", promises to bring an authentic and in-depth look at the journey from a difficult childhood in Belgrade to the great crowning moments at Roland Garros. Djokovic has reached the clay Grand Slam finals 7 times, winning three titles, accounting for 1/8 of the majors in his career.

According to the production team, Djokovic directly participated in the script development process. He requested that the film not only reflect glory but also show the hidden corners that few people know about: long-lasting injuries, bitter defeats, and lonely moments away from the spotlight. The 38-year-old tennis player wants the series not to be a glorification of himself, but a true testimony showing the price paid to pursue a big dream.

What caught public attention was a rare clause in the contract: Djokovic volunteered to refund part of the fee if the project did not attract the expected audience. This is considered an action to show the Serbian legend's respect for his fans as well as Netflix.

Dovick's act of goodwill created a strong wave of admiration on social networks. Djokovic shared that if people invest in his story, he wants it to be truly meaningful, not only for himself but for everyone who believes in that journey. Through the film, Djokovic hopes to inspire, emphasizing that greatness is not only measured in titles but also in courage, perseverance and gratitude..

After the success of sports documentary series such as Drive to Survive or Break Point, Netflix continues to invest heavily in the hope of creating a global fever with one of the greatest athletes in history. The episodes about Djokovic are not only entertainment, but also a journey to portray the soul of a champion, who at the age of 38 still continues to write his extraordinary story.

The first images in the film, according to those who had the opportunity to preview, are very emotional. The audience will see a contemplative Djokovic meditating in the quiet locker room of Roland Garros, reminiscing about top matches with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, or walking alone on the center court at dawn, breathing in the red dusty air on Philippe Chatrier main court.

This project also shows new progress in the relationship between sports and cinema. Djokovic personally oversees every detail to ensure everything reflects reality. There is no artificial drama, no exaggerated emotions, just the naked truth about a person overcoming all challenges not only from opponents but also from himself.
