Novak Djokovic's family was there in the stands to support him during his second-round match at Wimbledon. His wife Jelena, son Stefan, and daughter Tara cheered for him as he defeated Jacob Fearnley.

Djokovic was up against British wildcard Fearnley in the second round at Wimbledon on Centre Court on Thursday. The crowd cheered on for the 22-year-old local lad but the seven-time Wimbledon winner had his family there to support him.

Here are a few pictures of the Serb's family in the stands.

His son Stefan stood and applauded him after he completed a 6-3, 6-4, 5-7, 7-5 win over Fearnley.

At Wimbledon, Jacob Fearnley was participating in his first-ever singles event at a Grand Slam. He was in good form after winning his maiden ATP Challenger title at the 2024 Nottingham Open as a qualifier in June. He received a wildcard to play at SW19 and won the first-round clash against Alejandro Moro Canas in straight sets.

In the second round, he was pitted against World No. 2 Novak Djokovic. The young Brit gave the Serb a strong fight and even managed to win a set but eventually lost in the fourth set. Djokovic believes the match deserved a fifth set with how well Fearnley played in the fourth.

"I thought he served very well. It was very difficult to break his serve. He made me work. I was probably a bit lucky in the fourth not to go a break down. I could have won the match in three but this match potentially deserved to go into a fifth, with the way he played in the fourth. But I am very glad it didn't," Djokovic said after the match.

Djokovic has now entered his 18th third-round match at Wimbledon and equaled Roger Federer's record for the most third-round appearances at SW19. The Serb will take on Australian player Alexei Popyrin in the third round.

The Aussie got the better of Thiago Monteiro in the first round and secured a straight victory against 30th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the second round.
