History is on the cards for Novak Djokovic, as he is one of the favorites to win the Laureus Sportsman of the Year award for 2024 in Madrid. After enduring travel bans in 2022, the Serbian star exploded in 2023 winning three Grand Slams including his favorite one in Melbourne. The tennis icon is now proudly making his way to Palacio de Cibeles accompanied by his wife and the fans could not get any more ecstatic. Lady Djokovic, who has been a pillar of strength to the Serbian, stole the show with the fans at the ceremony.

Meanwhile, the competition could be stiff in Madrid, as many other high-profile athletes have entered the race. Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi, American athlete Noah Lyles, Norwegian footballer Erling Haaland, and F1 racer Max Verstappen are in the race. However, Djokovic’s arrival itself is a moment of joy as the player had to be away last year without any nominations.
