Novak Djokovic‘s son Stefan, also has shown interest in tennis. Djokovic has made it clear that he doesn’t want to interfere if Stefan picks up a racket for his career.

Recently, a video of Djokovic playing tennis with Stefan surfaced on the internet. The 38-year-old, instead of a racket, hit the ball with a frying pan.

Watch the video here:

Djokovic recently sat for an interview with controversial broadcaster Piers Morgan during which he expressed his wish to play doubles alongside Stefan. But he also joked that if Stefan is pitted against him, he would not let him win and instead would “kick his a**”.

Djokovic now lives in Athens. He relocated to Greece’s capital, reportedly due to the ongoing student protest against the Serbian government.

He featured in the first edition of the Hellenic Championship in Athens, where he defeated Lorenzo Musetti to win his second ATP 250 title of the season. The first title that he lifted was the Geneva Open by defeating Hubert Hurkacz. After his successful campaign in Athens, Djokovic skipped the ATP Finals because of a shoulder injury.

In the Grand Slam events this season, Nole played every semifinal. While an injury forced him to give the walkover to Alexander Zverev at the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner knocked him out at the French Open and Wimbledon. At the US Open, eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz eliminated him.

Mattia Bellucci recalls the pressure of practicing with Novak Djokovic

Italian tennis player Mattia Bellucci has trained with Novak Djokovic and very well remembers the pressure, as the latter demands a lot from those he works with. During his interview with Spazio Tennis Podcast, Bellucci explained how his practice session with the 24-time Grand Slam champion helped him become a better player.

Unlike other big names, training with Nole involves a much higher level of expectation. He demands extreme precision from himself and his team, and if things don’t go as planned, he gets angry. I tried to make this training session useful for him — the pressure was enormous. In terms of emotion and intensity, this session allowed me to progress, to become stronger. Reaching such a level of expectation with the greatest player of all time… I never imagined I would find myself in such a situation.

Bellucci was last seen in action at the Paris Masters. He failed to reach the main draw due to his straight-set defeat to America’s Reilly Opelka in the first qualifier.

Bellucci is a World No.74 player who finished the season with a 12-17 win-loss record. This year, he played the main draw matches of three Grand Slam events. He produced his best when he progressed to the third round of Wimbledon, losing that match in straight sets against Britain’s Cameron Norrie.

The 24-year-old has never played an official match against Djokovic. Next year, Djokovic’s main goal will be to end his Grand Slam title drought at the Australian Open.

The last time he won a Major was at the 2023 US Open, which he clinched by defeating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev. Since then, he has played just one Grand Slam final, at the 2024 Wimbledon, where Carlos Alcaraz denied him the win.

Djokovic finished the season at the fourth spot on the rankings table with a 39-11 win-loss record. Apart from the Geneva Open and the Hellenic Championship, Djokovic also reached the Miami Open final, where Jakub Mensik denied him the win.

The last Big Title that Djokovic lifted was at the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medal, which he won by defeating Alcaraz. Djokovic wants to play at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and there he wants to hang up his racket.
