While some players avoid skiing and snowboarding because of the risk of injury, Djokovic grew up skiing since he was a toddler and was actually very serious about the sport as a youngster.

It's probably a good thing he chose tennis, though he's managed to win on the mountains, too.

The 31-year-old captured Grand Slam No. 15 in Melbourne and strengthened his grip on the No. 1 ranking. He's taking time to enjoy life off the court, including quality time with his four-year-old son, Stefan.

In Melbourne, Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal in the final to win his record-setting sixth Australian Open crown.
