VIDEO: Novak Djokovic and Wife Jelena Engage in a Fun-Filled Beach Adventure

Novak Djokovic is having one of the strangest seasons of his tennis career. Despite being completely fit, the 21-time Grand Slam champion has had to miss numerous big tournaments this year. Despite such disappointing outcomes on the tour, the legendary Serbian has been having fun outside the tennis courts. Recently, he enjoyed some time off with his family and friends.

Notably, he missed the Australian Open and the US Open owing to his vaccination status. He has also skipped some ATP Masters tournaments such as the Sunshine Double and the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati. Although he won the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, ranking points weren’t available at the tournament, which resulted in his fall in the ATP ranking. He has slipped to Number 7 from the top spot at the beginning of the year.
