The eight-time Australian Open champion and wife Jelena gave thanks to doctors, nurses and medical staff around the world for their efforts fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I wish to express my gratitude to all the medical staff across the world and in my native Serbia for helping everyone infected by the coronavirus," Djokovic said in a video conference from Marbella, Spain.

"Unfortunately, more and more people are getting infected every day. My wife Jelena and I are putting together a plan how to best donate our resources to people in need. Our donation is one million euros for the purchase of ventilators and other medical equipment.”

The 17-time Grand Slam champion joins Roger Federer, who donated one million Swiss francs, Rafael Nadal, who is heading a drive of Spanish athletes to try to raise 11 million euros to fight the coronavirus outbreak, and Simona Halep, who donated money to buy medical equipment in her native Romania.
