Novak Djokovic's wife Jelena stunned by Serb's unreal athleticism during Australian Open charity match

Novak Djokovic's wife, Jelena, was impressed by the Grand Slam champion during a recent charity match. In a social media post, Jelena Djokovic uploaded a picture of her husband playing wheelchair tennis during the event. Jelena was impressed by the Serb's physical skills as he tried playing tennis in a wheelchair at the exhibition event.

The video was recorded during the 'A Night With Novak' charity event. The celebration was organized ahead of the start of the Australian Open to raise funds through the Australian Tennis Foundation. The event was a success, with every ticket available for purchase sold before the exhibition.

The video uploaded by Jelena shows Novak Djokovic playing tennis in a wheelchair. Unlike the skills the Grand Slam champion regularly needs on the court, wheelchair tennis demands more concentration due to the use of the chairs themselves. She captioned the post:

"This is so insanely difficult to do"

A Night With Novak also featured Nick Kyrgios, who played a singles match against the Grand Slam champion. Djokovic had some fun before the start of his campaign in this year's Australian Open. The champion will attempt to win the trophy for the eleventh time this month.

The main draws for this year's edition of the Australian Open have been revealed. Novak Djokovic is listed as the seventh seed at the event due to his position in the ATP rankings. The Serb's first round match will be against Nishesh Basavareddy. The young American has only found success on the Challenger tour so far.

Other remarkable players who can be found in Djokovic's section of the draw for the 2025 Australian Open are Fabio Fognini, Reilly Opelka, and David Goffin. The biggest threat in that section of the draw is Grigor Dimitrov, who has been listed as the tenth seed.

If Novak Djokovic manages to get through the first rounds of the tournament, his section of the draw could place him against Casper Ruud, Alexander Zverev, and Carlos Alcaraz. It's not impossible for Djokovic to win an eleventh trophy at the Australian Open. But taking into account who could step in his way, the challenge starts to look extremely difficult. Nevertheless, Novak Djokovic remains one of the top candidates to win the first Grand Slam of the season.
