Novak Djokovic’s sad confession about wife as she cheers him on to Australian Open win

Novak Djokovic’s sorrow at not having his wife to support him at the Australian Open won’t dent his title hopes this time around. The Serbian icon failed to lift a Grand Slam title in 2024, much to his disappointment, and heads into this season with a new coach in Andy Murray.

Melbourne has always been one of the 37-year-old’s most prolific hunting grounds, as he’s won the most titles of any player in the Open era with 10. But he saw the title snatched away in 2024 by Jannik Sinner

For the last two renewals, Djokovic’s wife, Jelena, hasn’t made the trip to Australia, which caused disappointment at the time. However, as he kicks off yet another assault on the Australian Open, Djokovic has been joyfully joined by his family.
