Novak Djokovic
Power 100 rank: 9
Rank last year: Unranked
Sport: Tennis
Age: 24
Most recent notable achievement: 10 ATP titles in 2011
Earnings: $21,000,000
Key sponsors: Mercedes‐Benz, Sergio Tacchini, Head, Audemars Piguet
Why he’s on the list: The top newcomer on the Power 100 this year, Novak Djokovic is the upstart youngster who claimed the top spot in the world tennis rankings after seven years of either Federer or Nadal in the lead. The Serb beat both on his way to winning three majors, finishing with a 70-6 record, and logging 43 straight victories, broken in a now-classic game with Federer. He is quickly moving beyond sponsors such as Telekom Srbija.
