Personal Life and Philanthropy
Novak Djokovic married his long-time partner Jelena Ristić in 2014, shortly after winning his second Wimbledon title. The wedding ceremony was held at the Aman Sveti Stefan resort in Montenegro. At the time of their wedding, Jelena was pregnant with their first child, a son named Stefan. The couple later welcomed a daughter named Tara.
Djokovic founded the Novak Djokovic Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to improving early childhood education for underprivileged children in Serbia. Jelena Djokovic serves as the foundation’s director, playing an active role in its mission and initiatives.
Health and Nutrition
During the early years of his career, Djokovic experienced frequent physical fatigue and inconsistent performances. Seeking a solution, he consulted nutritionist Igor Četojević, who specializes in Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Četojević diagnosed Djokovic with gluten intolerance, which led to a complete overhaul of his diet. Eliminating gluten significantly improved his endurance, health, and performance on court.
As a result of his discipline, dedication, and strategic approach to his health and training, Novak Djokovic has remained a dominant force in tennis for over a decade. His estimated net worth exceeds $160 million, reflecting not only his athletic accomplishments but also his endorsements and business ventures.
