NOVAK DJOKOVIC is one of the greatest tennis players ever to grace the court – and wife Jelena has helped him to get where he is today.
The Serb will be hoping to secure a fourth US Open title following his bitter Wimbledon defeat against Carlos Alcaraz.

Jelena has been with Novak through thick and thin
Jelena is usually seen supporting her man at every tournament, and this year at Flushing Meadows will be no different.
But who is Jelena and how long have the two Serbian lovebirds been married?
Who is Jelena Djokovic?
Jelena Djokovic – formerly Ristic – has been Novak’s wife for over nine years.
They tied the knot back in July 2014 and celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary at Centre Court last year. The couple began dating in 2005 and got engaged in September 2013.
Their son Stefan was born in October 2014 and Djokovic confirmed he was a father again three years later.
The pair announced daughter Tara was born in September 2017, with Jelena having been noticeably absent from the player’s box during her husband’s matches at Wimbledon the same year.
Jelena is a huge fan of Instagram, regularly sharing loved up snaps with her husband on her profile.
She is also the director of their charity, the Novak Djokovic Foundation, which aims to help children in Serbia realise their dreams by improving the country’s education system.
Who is Novak Djokovic?
Novak Djokovic is one of the most famous and successful tennis players in the world, and considered among many as one of the greatest players of all time.
The Serbian has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles, including Wimbledon seven times and 10 Australian Open titles.
After winning the 2016 French Open, Djokovic became the third man to hold all four major titles at once, and the first ever to do so on three different surfaces.
