Novak Djokovic's wife Jelena, son Stefan, daughter Tara, and brother Marko cheered on the Serbian as he began his campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The World No. 2 has a bronze medal, which he won in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and eyes an elusive Olympics gold medal.

He breezed past Australian Matthew Ebden 6-0, 6-1 to reach the second round. In a dominant display, the Serb completely overpowered the former doubles World No. 1. With this he has potentially set a mouth-watering clash against Rafael Nadal, which could be a 'last dance' for the long-time fierce competitors.

As Djokovic booked a place in the second round, his family was in the stands to provide support. His wife Jelena, son Stefan, daughter Tara, and brother Marko were present for the win.

Djokovic has two brothers, Djordje and Marko. Marko is a former tennis player and was a part of Team Serbia for the 2010 Davis Cup.

Novak Djokovic delivered a heartfelt speech for his children after losing to Carlos Alcaraz at the 2024 Wimbledon final. The Serbian shed a tear as he professed his love for his children, Stefan and Tara:

"My wonderful children, Tara and Stefan, thank you for bringing a smile to my face every single day," Djokovic said. "God, I keep on tearing up every single year when I look at them on the closing ceremony."

Djokovic also said he was thankful to be a father to 'two angels who love tennis,' adding that he does not have the nerves to coach his son:

"I am so thankful to be the father of these two little angels that. … love tennis! They’ve actually started to love tennis more and more. I don’t know if I have the nerves to keep on going with the coaching career with my son. There are a lot of beautiful things in life, my son, tennis is not the only thing. But if you really wish to pursue it, I’ll be there for you."

Upon getting his father's seal of approval for his probable tennis career, Stefan gave Novak Djokovic an adorable thumbs-up. It will be interesting to see how far Djokovic can go in the Paris Olympics.
