Novak Djokovic is currently enjoying his time off the court. A few days ago, he attended the Le Club Lacoste Miami Open Launch Party at the Soho Beach House in Miami, Florida, along with his ATP peers. And, now he was seen enjoying a bright sunny day at the beach with his wife Jelena Djokovic.

Novak Djokovic and Jelena first met each other while attending and playing tennis in high school. They went on to date for almost 8 years, before eventually tying the knot in 2014 (just a few days after Djokovic won his second Wimbledon Championship) in Sveti Stefan, a small coastal town in Montenegro. In this instance, Jelena took to Instagram to post a picture with her husband at the seashore of Miami and captioned the picture with a ‘heart’ emoji.

The 2023 season was one of the best seasons of Novak Djokovic’s career. After its end, Djokovic penned down a heartfelt note to his wife saying, “What an amazing season this has been. Forever grateful to my wife for being the best mother I could ask for to kids, while I was making history of the sport. Her support and love that I have been feeling from my family made this historic season possible.

In 2021, during an interview, Jelena revealed that despite being a “great professional” Djokovic is also a  “wonderful father.” Notably, he was recently seen taking some time off his busy schedule to express his love and affection for his wife by sending her kisses during the 2024 Indian Wells Masters campaign. Having said that, Djokovic also acknowledges how it can be a challenging affair to be with him.

“It’s kind of living on the edge with the wolf” – Djokovic 

During an on-court interview, Novak Djokovic revealed that being in a relationship with him can be very challenging. He referred to himself as a wolf and stated,“It can be very stressful to run with the wolf. I know that she doesn’t enjoy it at all times. It’s kind of living on the edge with the wolf.” He believes he “carries” the traits of a wolf within himself, saying that the dynamic energy can sometimes turn into a roar or outburst.

Meanwhile, getting a lot of public attention and being in the limelight all the time is pretty challenging for Jelena Djokovic. During an interview with ‘Hello Magazine,’ she stated that their relationship was like ‘science fiction’. “Us getting together was like science fiction almost. I was a student barely getting by, and he was a very young tennis player who also had no money to spare on expensive trips.” She also revealed that their relationship would have been impossible if she hadn’t left her job.
