But who is Jelena and how long have the two Serbian lovebirds been married?
Who is Jelena Djokovic?
Jelena Djokovic – formerly Ristic – has been Novak’s wife for exactly eight years.
They tied the knot back in July 2014 and will be celebrating their eighth wedding anniversary as Novak heads to Centre Court.
The couple began dating in 2005 and got engaged in September 2013.
Their son Stefan was born in October 2014 and Djokovic confirmed he was a father again three years later.
The pair announced daughter Tara was born in September 2017, with Jelena having been noticeably absent from the player’s box during her husband’s matches at Wimbledon the same year.
Jelena is a huge fan of Instagram, regularly sharing loved up snaps with her husband on her profile.
She is also the director of their charity, the Novak Djokovic Foundation, which aims to help children in Serbia realise their dreams by improving the country’s education system.
