Novak Djokovic is an idolized figure in the tennis world. When on the court, he gives his all and shows tremendous grit and determination to succeed.

Named the Novak Djokovic Foundation, his wife recently made an emotional revelation surrounding it.

Along with the 24-time Grand Slam champion, his wife, Jelena Djokovic has been actively involved with the foundation as its global CEO. She dropped a lengthy message on social media, thanking her husband after it achieved an important cause.

Novak Djokovic’s wife makes a heartfelt revelation

Djokovic’s wife, Jelena, is active on social media and regularly shares updates on her daily life and activism across various platforms. Recently, she took to Instagram to share an emotional confession about the Novak Djokovic Foundation.

A few days ago, she was present at an event of the Serbinator’s eponymous foundation. Sharing glimpses of the event via a post on her official Instagram handle, she said, “Much love to our NDF team, they’ve been our rock and support. You are only as strong as your team. @novakfoundation What a journey we have together – through thick and thin! From trauma to healing – together.”

As Jelena was writing the message, emotions took the better of her. She concluded by saying, “I started writing in English for Gabor and now it might be silly for my fellow Serbian speaking community – sorry, Im a bit emotional.” Dr. Gabor Mate is an expert on trauma, addiction, stress, & childhood and works with the people afflicted with the same. Over the past few days, he has been associated with Djokovic’s foundation.

Jelena’s emotional note marked the drawing close of a tough year for Djokovic’s foundation. Earlier this year, they lost one of their key members. The world No. 1 tennis player’s wife broke the heartbreaking news as she expressed their shock at the sudden loss.
