Tennis career

Djokovic appeared on the junior ITF circuit in September 2006. In July 2007, he failed to qualify on the Croatia Open Umag, losing to Pablo Andújar 6–2, 6–1 in the 1st round of qualifying.[3] He also played, with his elder brother Novak, one doubles match in his career, having been beaten by Édouard Roger-Vasselin and Mathieu Montcourt 7–5, 6–1.

Djokovic also has lost in two Futures tournaments in Novi Sad in the first round, both times to compatriot Saša Stojisavljević. He contested the Australian Open Juniors in 2008, losing in the first round to Clifford Marsland in 3 sets.

Djokovic won his first junior title at the Montenegro Open in Podgorica, defeating Ljubomir Čelebić in the final.[4] In July 2008, Djokovic received a wildcard entry into the qualifying rounds of the Croatia Open in Umag but was beaten by Italian Francesco Piccari.[5] In September 2008, in his first ever main ATP Tour event, he received a wild card entry into the main draw of the Thailand Open.[6] He was defeated in the first round by Jarkko Nieminen 6–2, 6–0.

On May 7, 2009, Djoković, with Darko Madjarovski (both wildcards), defeated ATP Doubles world number 2 duo Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjić, by 7–6, 2–6, 10–6, in the opening round of the Serbia Open, an ATP World Tour 250 tournament. This was Marko's first ever ATP win.
