Novak Djokovic is a force to be reckoned with on the tennis courts. With an astonishing 24 Grand Slam titles to his name, the Serbian maestro has cemented his status as one of the greatest players of all time. His dominance on the court is undeniable, but it seems Djokovic’s off-court charm is equally captivating. Whether it’s his engaging personality, infectious energy, or sheer presence, Djokovic knows how to own a room—so much so that it seems he’s in need of some extra “protection.” And who better to step in than his wife, Jelena Djokovic? 

The Serbian tennis sensation is all set to play against Rafael Nadal in the Six King Slam in what could be the last match between the two legends, given the Spaniard’s retirement after the Davis Cup. But Nole is not just ruling the courts. Taking to his Instagram, the star player shared a string of pictures from Riyadh. In the pictures, he can be seen wearing a black outfit and a checked blue jacket, which added to his sensational look. He also several places in the city and posed fashionably for the camera. These pictures were enough to take the internet by storm.

As soon as the post gained traction, several users highlighted their admiration for the player. This made his wife Jelena Djokovic playfully come to his rescue as she dropped a cheeky remark on her husband’s pictures. Taking to the comment section, Jelena wrote, “Ok, calm down girls… 🤣🙅🏻‍♀️,” signifying that Djokovic is already committed. Remember, the star player married his wife almost a decade ago in 2014. The couple are also blessed with two kids, Stefan and Tara.

Nole and Jelena have often expressed immense love for each other and have engaged in adorable gestures both on and off the court. A similar instance was witnessed after the Paris Olympics this year.

He was seen holding his medal with pride as the wave of supporters rallied behind him. In the video that Djokovic shared, he wrote “A golden homecoming,” to which Jelena was quick to respond. 

Showering her love on her husband, Jelena wrote, “Ljubav ❤️,” meaning love. A similar situation emerged at the French Open as well, when the star player’s wife was seen wearing her husband’s Lacoste jacket. Sharing details about it, she later wrote on her Instagram, “Got my jacket!! Although I didn’t really know the answer to all the trick questions, @lacoste made for @Nolefam but I know a guy.” But it is not just Jelena who takes pride in the achievements and looks of her husband.
