Is Stefan Djokovic the next big thing in tennis? What do you think of his Wimbledon presence?

The All England Club is currently experiencing a surge in the levels of action and intensity. After a long time of struggles with his form, Novak Djokovic is back with a blast as he faces Lorenzo Musetti for a slot in the finals. While the last few months took the Serb’s coach from him, there was barely any notable figure spotted in his box. As he currently plays one of the most important matches of his career, a special guest took charge of motivating him.

As soon as the semi-final showdown between the 7-time champion and the Italian began, the former took the lead in his possession. While the split up with Goran Ivanisevic had left an empty chair in the Serb’s box, his son Stefan took charge to waive the flag and cheer for his dad. The nine-year-old was seen wearing a white colored hat, which helped him blend with the elegant colors of the glorious tournament.

The toddler’s presence seems to have made an impact as the Serb defeated his Italian rival with a final scoreline of 6-4, 7-6, 6-4. Winning in a showdown that lasted for almost three hours, the Serb secured his 6th victory out of the seven matches played against Musetti along with earning a spot in the finals.

Novak Djokovic’s son Stefan generally stays out of the media’s sight. However, moments have been recorded in the past where little Stefan declared his fanship for his tennis dad. “In the old days, when Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were still either the first in the world or the second, my dad named Novak Djokovic appeared. And that’s how my last name was created,” he wrote in a letter for the tennis great, unveiling how he admires his journey and position.

Besides Stefan, Jelena Djokovic’s sister was also seen in the stands, taking care of the kids in the absence of their mother. While the Serb knew about these special guests’ presence, he decided to make it memorable for them.

Novak Djokovic seals his win over Lorenzo Musetti with a surprise for his daughter

Along with son Stefan, Novak Djokovic’s second child Tara Djokovic was also there in the stands. Although she is known to have no interest in tennis but in activities like ballet, she was still seen joyously cheering for her dad. As a measure to surprise his daughter for the presence, Djokovic mimicked playing a violin.

This was because her daughter recently started learning the musical instrument. The Serb equipped the celebration through his campaign at this year’s grass court major event and therefore repeated it one more time. “My daughter has been playing violin for some time already, six months, and we agreed that I would celebrate that way,” he recently said, mentioning the reason behind this new development.

Djokovic now has a secure spot in the finals against the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Fans will get to witness a complete pack of action as years of experience goes against young strength.
