Djokovic Unveils His Wax Statue in Serbia

The wax statue of the Serbian tennis star and numero uno player Novak Djokovic was unveiled in Jagodina, the capital town of Serbia. More than 6,000 fans turned up for the event to get a glimpse of this top class tennis player.

Djokovic arrived in Jagodina to reveal his life-like statue at the wax museum in the town. The event was attended by the town's mayor, Dragan Markovic-Palma, and the Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Ivica Dacic.

According to Markovic-Palma, the timing of the unveiling of Djokovic's wax figure was fortuitous, given the fact that Djokovic had received the award as top sportsman for 2011 at the Laureus Sports Award in London on Monday, Feb. 6, 2012.

The wax figure was made by Belgrade sculptor Svetomir Radovic after reviewing extensive video recordings and photographs of Djokovic in action. The life-size figure is dressed in attire worn by Djokovic and holds a racket used by him in an actual tennis match.
