Now, Djokovic’s family is attending Wimbledon to cheer for the Serb. During his last match against Australian Alexei Popyrin, his son and his daughter caught the limelight by dropping completely opposite reactions. While his son Stefan enthusiastically mimicked his father’s incredible stroke, Djokovic’s daughter Tara kept herself vested in her Unicon Academy book.
In 2022, Djokovic mentioned in an interview that her daughter is “ a real girl” who doesn’t like tennis much as she is “more into ballet.” While he mentioned how Tara “started playing a few times a week with her friends from school”, this 24 Grand Slam winner’s little girl seemed “really not interested” in the sport. Despite that, her attendance at her father’s game must have brought the Serb a lot of mental motivation and that reflected on his game. Now with this adorable clip, everyone clearly saw the positive happy-go-lucky attitude of Djokovic while he shared heartwarming moments with her daughter.
