Djokovic won his fourth Wimbledon title in 2018 and that marked his resurgence in tennis. That title pleased the Serb as he did it in the presence of his son.
“It feels amazing because for the first time in my life I have someone screaming ‘Daddy! Daddy!’” – Djokovic said on court after his fourth Wimbledon victory.
Due to Wimbledon’s restrictions, kids under 5 years old cannot watch matches from near the courts. However, they made an exception for Stefan Djokovic that year and it made the whole Djokovic family very happy and his father emotional.
“And it’s the little boy right there. He came in… he’s under five years old, so he couldn’t watch the matches live, but we were hoping that if this happens, if I hold a trophy, that he can be there to witness it. I can’t be happier. I’m very emotional for him being there.”
