Novak Djokovic, the reigning world number one in tennis, recently took a break from his intense competitive schedule to enjoy a cozy movie night at home with his girlfriend, Jelena Ristic. The Serbian star humorously shared on his Facebook page that it was his lady’s choice for the evening – the 2004 romantic drama film, “The Notebook,” directed by Nick Cassavetes.
Djokovic playfully revealed that he had prepared popcorn and tissues in anticipation of the emotional nature of the movie. The tennis icon, known for his on-court prowess and off-court charisma, showcased his lighter side, emphasizing the strong bond he shares with Ristic, his partner since 2005.
Despite his jovial demeanor off the court, Djokovic has been making headlines with his stellar performance in the tennis world. The 25-year-old recently took a two-week break from competitive play after a remarkable victory at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, where he defeated Rafael Nadal, ending the Spaniard’s eight-year dominance at the event.
Djokovic’s triumph at Monte-Carlo adds to his impressive list of achievements this season, including titles at the Australian Open and the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. His success extends beyond individual accolades, as he led Serbia to the Davis Cup semi-finals, securing victories against Belgium and the USA in the first and second rounds.
With his sights set on the Mutua Madrid Open, Djokovic continues to demonstrate his prowess both as an individual player and a leader for his nation in team competitions. His dedication to the sport and his unwavering support from Ristic, often seen cheering him on from the stands, exemplify the balance between professional success and personal relationships in Djokovic’s life.
As the tennis world eagerly awaits Djokovic’s return to competitive action, fans are treated to glimpses of the champion’s off-court moments, showcasing the human side of the celebrated athlete.
