Novak Djokovic's charmed life will soon be the subject of a television documentary series.

The world No. 1 has sold the series - which has the fairly uninspired working title "Novak" - to Amazon, with an as-yet indeterminate premiere date, Variety reports.

"Novak" will follow Djokovic throughout the 2017 season, focusing on his tennis regimen - not only his experiences playing on the ATP tour, but his fitness routines and scrupulous dietary habits - as well as his off-court exploits, including his personal life, business ventures, trips to his hometown of Belgrade, and extensive charity work.

The series will reportedly premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Austria, and Japan.

"My fans have been suffering and celebrating with me from the very beginning of my career on the tennis courts," Djokovic said in a statement. "Now I want to share with them all my daily life and what's important to me - my values, my beliefs, and my habits - and also introduce to them all the amazing people that are always next to me."

It's just a pity the show hasn't started filming yet, or it would've gotten to explore some truly captivating behind-the-scenes TV Friday, with Djokovic's inscrutable semifinal win over Gael Monfils.
