Djokovic’s Disastrous First Date with Wife Who Became His ‘Lucky Charm’
Novak Djokovic, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, has always credited his wife, Jelena, as a key figure in his success. However, their relationship had an unexpectedly rocky start. Djokovic recently revealed details about their less-than-perfect first date, which could have spelled disaster for their now unshakable bond.
In a candid interview, Djokovic shared how their first date went awry due to his nerves and eagerness to impress Jelena. “I tried too hard,” Djokovic admitted, laughing at the memory. “I wanted everything to be perfect, but nothing went according to plan.” From choosing an overcrowded restaurant to spilling wine, Djokovic’s attempts to woo Jelena didn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped.
Despite the mishaps, Jelena saw past the chaos and was charmed by Novak’s sincerity and effort. “He was so genuine and determined to make it special,” Jelena recalled in an interview. “I couldn’t help but admire his passion and humility, even if the evening was chaotic.”
Fast forward to today, and Jelena has become an integral part of Djokovic’s life and career. The couple, who married in 2014, have two children and often share glimpses of their family life on social media. Jelena is frequently seen supporting Djokovic courtside, earning her the title of his “lucky charm.”
Djokovic has repeatedly emphasized the role Jelena plays in his mental and emotional stability, which he credits for his longevity and dominance in tennis. “She’s my rock, my inspiration,” Djokovic said. “Every triumph feels more special because I share it with her.”
Their love story, which began with a disastrous first date, has blossomed into one of sport’s most endearing pa
rtnerships.
