In pictures: Novak Djokovic celebrates French Open triumph with family
Novak Djokovic celebrated his 2023 French Open title triumph with his wife Jelena and children. The family engaged in a fun photoshoot at the Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Djokovic defeated fourth seed Casper Ruud 7-6(1), 6-3, 7-5 in the Roland Garros final on Sunday, June 11. With the win, the Serbian claimed a record 23 Grand Slam title, surpassing Rafael Nadal's 22 on the men's tour.
After lifting the title, the new World No. 1 and his family remained inside the court for some time to cherish the occasion. The family clicked some pictures with the winner's trophy, which created quite a buzz in the tennis world.
In another picture, Djokovic's son Stefan and daughter Tara can be seen jumping and photobombing as their parents pose for the cameras with the trophy.
The family was also captured taking a selfie.
Later in the day, Roland Garros took to Twitter to share a picture of the Serb posing with his family and team, including coach Goran Ivanisevic.
Jelena and her husband tied the knot in 2014 after dating each other since high school. The couple welcomed daughter Tara in September 2017, three years after the birth of son Stefan.
Jelena, a Belgrade-born businesswoman, has been extremely supportive of her husband. She is often spotted in the player's box cheering for the Serb during his matches.
