Novak Djokovic Opens Restaurant Offering Free Food
Tennis star Novak Djokovic is opening a restaurant offering free food to those in need.
The Serbian sportsman, 30, is in the process of building his third restaurant.
He revealed that customers will be able to dine for free after claiming he wants to give back to those who have supported him.

Novak said in a statement: “Money is not problem for me. I have earned enough to feed all Serbia, I think that they deserve this after all the support they are giving to me.”
It is not known whether diners will have to prove they are in need of feeding or not.
In 2009, the tennis player opened a restaurant called Novak close to the Belgrade Arena in the city of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.
And in 2016, Novak debuted a vegan restaurant called Eqvita in Monte Carlo, where he and his family are living.
Back then he said: “Because of my family, I’ve always had a love for food. But as an athlete, it became something more—the fuel that determines how I play, how I recover and how alert I am on the court… I attribute a great deal of my professional success to my diet.”
Novak’s parents are also reported to have owned restaurants when he was growing up.
He added: “Food is my passion. Of all the things I’ve experienced in life, food has changed me the most. I wanted to share that impact with the world.”
