Novak Djokovic, the world-renowned tennis champion, is set to embrace a new role in his life – that of a father. The exciting news was shared by Djokovic himself on social media, revealing that his fiancée, Jelena Ristic, is expecting their first child. The couple, currently in Athens for Djokovic’s wrist injury recovery, received further good news as the Serbian athlete expresses optimism about participating in the upcoming Madrid Masters tournament.
Djokovic, at 26, finds himself not only recovering from a recent injury but also eagerly anticipating parenthood. The tennis star, in a statement on his official website, stated that the injury situation is better than initially feared, providing him with hope for a swift return to the court after a brief recovery period.
The couple, together for eight years, announced their engagement last September with plans to marry in 2014. Ristic, hailing from Belgrade, is not only Djokovic’s life partner but also the head of his charitable foundation. Her educational background includes business studies at Bocconi University in Milan and a Master’s degree in Luxury Management and Services from the International University of Monaco.
Known for her unwavering support at Djokovic’s matches on the ATP Tour, Ristic has become a familiar face in the tennis world. The article, however, doesn’t provide details on the expected due date for the couple’s first child, leaving fans and the public eagerly anticipating further updates.
In a tennis world where off-court news often revolves around matches and tournaments, Djokovic’s impending fatherhood adds a personal and heartwarming dimension to his public persona. As the Serbian star focuses on both recovery and family preparations, fans worldwide eagerly await the next chapter in Djokovic’s remarkable journey – this time, not on the tennis court, but in the joys of parenthood.
