Novak Djokovic clearly revealed that he was “feeling different emotions” after taking down Carlos Alcaraz to go for gold. With a massive portfolio of 24 grand slam titles and countless records, it was this achievement he yearned for a very long time. While his doting family was there to support him throughout the intense campaign, Jelena made sure to set new couple goals with her adorable message.
Sunday afternoon in Paris became a blockbuster show as Novak Djokovic won his first Olympic gold medal in men’s tennis. He defeated Carlos Alcaraz in an intense showdown that lasted almost three hours and eventually ended with a final scoreline of 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2). With this, he also completed the rare “Golden Slam” by winning all four major tournaments and the Olympics, becoming only the fifth player to do it.
While everyone badly wanted to see him push his limits to earn this missing piece of the puzzle, his wife Jelena assured him that he was “all gold” even if it wasn’t his day. “Our dad is all gold with or without a medal around his neck ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 let’s go 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸 (translated from the Serbian),” she wrote, writing on her family’s behalf.
Naš je tata sav od zlata sa ili bez medalje oko vrata ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇idemooooooo 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

Both Stefan and Tara accompanied Jelena as Nole battled for gold at Court Phillipe Chatrier. She knew what this victory meant for her husband and ensured she was present in each of his showdowns throughout the campaign. Sometimes concerned about the pain in his knee and cheering on his victories, Jelena played the role of a superfan for the Serb.
Even Djokovic couldn’t unsee her efforts and therefore came up with the most adorable way of thanking her. With tears of joy and pride in his eyes, the Serb walked through the crowded stands to meet his family and give a warm hug.
