Novak Djokovic was singled out by Forbes this week, as the 27-year-old seven-time Grand Slam champion was named to its “2015 30 Under 30: Sports” feature, placing the Serbian star among such other sports royalty as Buster Posey of the San Francisco Giants, Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens and U.S. Soccer, Olympic and Portland Thorns’ star Alex Morgan.

Djokovic was the only tennis player on this year’s list, compared to four in 2014 (Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Kei Nishikori and Andy Murray).
Here’s what Forbes had to say about Nole:
"Twice voted the ATP player of the year (2011 and 2012), Djokovic reclaimed his title as the world's No. 1 tennis player in July 2014, surpassing rival Rafael Nadal. He's already won seven Grand Slams, which is tied for eighth-most in the Open Era and includes four Australian Opens. Djokovic is also a seven-time Grand Slam runner-up."
