The big three, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal, ruled tennis for the last two decades. There’s no way we can declare any one of them as the greatest. While the competition has been extreme between these three, there’s one thing in common.

All three of them got into a long, stable relationship that extended into a successful marriage. As the saying goes, there’s always a woman behind a successful man. It holds true for the big three as well. Here we are going to discuss the beautiful love story of Novak Djokovic and his wife Jelena.

How Novak Djokovic met Jelena Ristic

Many of our fans might not be aware that Jelena is a year older than Novak and the two met for the first time in high school. It was in 2005 when they started dating. While Djokovic was rapidly climbing the ladders of success, Jelena had absolute clarity regarding her career.

Instead of accompanying her boyfriend on the ATP tour, she chose to pursue higher education and moved to Italy. After getting a degree in Sports business management and International Management from Monaco University, she returned and became the head of the Novak Djokovic foundation.
