The 32-year-old explained that his five-year-old Stefan has started playing tennis but he also likes martial arts and football. He also revealed that sometimes practices with his son sometime.
“There is no dynamic there is just it’s spontaneous. There are really no rules in terms of them needing to play tennis or any other sport. It’s just whether there is desire or passion or love for them to do that and if there is then we do it and I’d like them to be active. They’re trying different things,” Djokovic explained.
