Tennis is the rare sort of sport where travel is as much part of it as being present on the court. There are pros and cons but for many, it separates the players from their families. World No.1 Novak Djokovic‘s dominance on the court is well established, but so is his status as a family man. Simply put, he loves to travel with his family. But when he’s not hopping on a plane, one might often find him doing fun activities with his wife Jelena, and their two children, Stefan and Tara.

Novak Djokovic recently withdrew from the Miami Open to spend some time with his family before heading back to the hectic schedule of the sport. He announced his absence saying, “At this stage of my career, I’m balancing my private and professional schedule.” Then a few days ago, the Serbian tennis star was spotted celebrating Easter holiday with his wife and children. And he recently posted on Instagram a video clip where he can be seen having fun with his family in a track and field stadium in Monaco.

He was seen jogging along the track with Tara, doing long jumps with Stefan, and carrying Jelena on his back. Novak Djokovic was even trying to teach Tara some of his acrobatic moves. He posted those heartwarming moments on his Instagram account and captioned it, “Family power like no other.”

Novak Djokovic also loves to do ballet dancing with his wife. He believes dancing together with Jelena helps him cope with the stress that is a natural part of his career. Djokovic believes ballet dancing is also good for his physical preparations. The Serbian always finds to prepare himself, no matter whether he’s with the family or without them.

Last year Novak Djokovic had an exceptional season. He ended the season sitting at the top of the men’s single ranking. But do you know who made things easier for the Serbian tennis star?

“Forever grateful” – Novak Djokovic pays a special tribute to his wife, Jelena

After finishing the season on a high note, Novak Djokovic said, “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.” However, at the start of this season in AO, he looked a bit emotional staying away from his family for such a long tour Down Under.

He said, “To be honest, I struggle with it more and more as time goes on. Australia is a long trip, probably the longest we have all year. My son is nine and my daughter is six. Every day, every week, they change.” At that time also Novak Djokovic highlighted the importance of maintaining a proper balance between personal and professional life.
