A central narrative focus is Djokovic’s sudden emergence on the professional circuit. Instead of being embraced, he was widely treated as an unwelcome intruder disrupting the beloved, mythic rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The documentary details how he channeled that crowd resistance into a ruthless competitive edge, developing what he famously refers to as the “wolf mentality.”
“Nobody can touch what he’s accomplished,” American tennis legend Andre Agassi notes emphatically in the trailer. “He’s the best of all-time.”
The film features intimate, brand-new interviews with Novak himself and his wife, Jelena. It also draws insights from a “who’s who” of tennis history, including rivals like Rafael Nadal, and icons like Pete Sampras, Boris Becker, and Jim Courier.
