5 best pictures of tennis players and their families

Novak Djokovic and his brothers, Djordje and Marko

Well-known as a family man, Novak Djokovic, who grew up the oldest of three brothers in war-torn Serbia, is famously close to his two younger siblings, 25-year-old Marko and 22-year-old Djordje.

Both brothers are also professional tennis players, although not with their eldest brother’s level of success – a level that it seems unlikely most players may reach in their careers.

Both Marko and Djordje, who was all of 13, were on hand to celebrate Novak’s first ever Grand Slam win at the age of only 21 – at the Australian Open in 2008, with the third seeded Djokovic defeating Roger Federer in the semi-finals – and beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for the trophy.

Although the brothers are not so frequently spotted in the stands these days, they remain very close.
