In the company of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II in Monaco, Novak Djoković fought off tough competition from the likes of Kylian Mbappé, Eliud Kipchoge and LeBron James to win the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Award. Novak, who won Wimbledon and the US Open in 2018 after returning from elbow surgery, is now a four-time Laureus World Sportsman of the Year. Speaking after receiving his award, Novak said: “A Laureus Award is what every athlete wants to win, and this one is a huge honour for me. Being among so many sporting greats here tonight, and hearing about the inspirational work Laureus is doing around the world, gives this award a special meaning for me.”
