The pair announced daughter Tara was born in September 2017, with Jelena having beennoticeably 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.

While son Stefan was in the Centre Court crowd with Novak’s parents, Jelena was elsewhere looking after daughter Tara.

And after his victory, Djokovic said: Its extra special sharing it with my son in the crowd and my parents, the whole team.

My wife and my daughter are here in London, but theyre at home. So I give them a big, big hug.

A day earlier, Jelena Djokovic posted a picture on Instagram of her children with the location marked as ‘Wimbledon’.

It has been reported that the tennis star’s wife missed ALL of his matches at SW19 this year and the Champions Ball, despite being a regular attendee.

But the pair quickly ended rumours that their relationship was on the rocks, after the Serbian star revealed he was spending time with his family after losing in the US Open.
