The Post of Serbia presented the stamps titled "Tennis: Novak Djokovic, the world racket number one" at an event on Thursday.

The postal service said it was the first time it had put an athlete on stamps, which were designed by Boban Savic, an illustrator from Serbia.

"The stamps represent an athlete... the best tennis player of today and the best athlete in the history of Serbian sports," a Serbia Post statement expressed.

Djokovic is also a "great humanist and philanthropist" the statement said, in reference to the star's education foundation that "helped reconstruct 48 kindergartens and supported more than 2,200 teachers in their work throughout Serbia."
