Resting an Injury, Djokovic Style

Ever since aggravating his back injury during the Davis Cup in Belgrade Nole has been anything but slowing down the pace. Quite the opposite, in fact. In the week and a half that has passed since his ill-fated match against Juan Martin del Potro at the Belgrade arena, he did the following and probably more that I'm missing: Presented the trophies at a celebrity tennis tournament Photo: Mladen Mitrić, svet.rs Attended his physiotherapist's wedding / baptism of his daughter where he acted as the best man and the child's godfather.  Photo: Luka Trajkovic Played in a soccer charity match Photo: Agencija TANJUG Visited a preschool as part of his UNICEF Ambasador duties.
