Novak Djokovic inaugurated tennis courts at a pyramid park in Bosnia. The Serbian tennis legend often visits the place to take a breather from his busy schedule. The first time he paid a visit to the place was back in 2020.

He has made several visits over the past couple of years to the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun complex and he has been welcomed by the site’s founder Semir Osmanagic.

As per Osmanagic, the thought of building a regional training center at the place came during Djokovic’s last visit in March. After coming to the new courts, the seven-time Wimbledon champion said, “This is a special day for Visoko, for Bosnia, for the whole region, for tennis, for sport.”

“The message of this day is peace, sport, future, and health,” added Djokovic.
