Over the years, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has been one of the most dominant players in the men’s game. The manner in which he has been consistent in his performances has been exceptional. Talking about this season, he has been ruthless as far as the Grand Slam events are concerned. 

Recently, Novak Djokovic has been crowned the European Sportsperson for the Year 2021. It has been a well-deserved honor for the 34-year-old player. Having said that, his name had been nominated along with some other prominent sports personalities. 

Novak Djokovic wins award for the 4th time 

The Serb raced ahead of football striker and Bayern Munich forward, Robert Lewandowski. Following him was the recently crowned Formula One champion Max Verstappen. All these three athletes have done exceptionally well in their respective fields. 

Lewandowski, who plays for the Polish national team, was one of the most dominant strikers in Europe this past year and sadly, fell short to Lionel Messi at the Ballon d’Or awards. On the other hand, Verstappen beat 7-time champion Lewis Hamilton en-route to winning this year’s title.

This is the fourth time that Djokovic has received this award.
