Novak Djokovic and Venus Williams
World No. 3 Novak Djokovic is currently playing in the 2022 Wimbledon Championships as the top-seed and the 3-time defending champion going for his 7th Wimbledon title and his 21st career Grand Slam title. He faced Soonwoo Kwon in the first round and despite a small hiccup, he managed to close out the match in 4-sets to record his 22nd consecutive win at the All-England Club.
Novak is joined by his family at the Championships with his wife Jelena and son Stefan being spotted during his first-round match. Novak is also on his father’s duty and the player was seen doing it pretty well in the now viral video shared by Serbian media outlet Sport Klub with footage from the All-England Club.
Novak Djokovic and family pose for pictures with Venus Williams
Novak can be seen with his kids Stefan and Tara meeting tennis great Venus Williams on Day 2 of the Championships. While Novak had his match on Day 1, he did not have a match scheduled on the second day while Venus was visiting the Grand Slam to catch her sister Serena Williams in her first-round match against Harmony Tan in the singles discipline. Venus has not participated in singles but will instead partner Jamie Murray in the Mixed Doubles in hopes of winning her 3rd Mixed Double title and first at Wimbledon being a runner-up in 2006.
Novak had his daughter’s bag on his shoulders and like a true fan, requested Venus for the autograph and squealed in happiness for his daughter Tara saying Thank you to Venus while asking his daughter to also thank the legend. He then took Stefan’s book and asked Venus once again with the player obliging her fellow tennis legend. The players later posed for pictures with Novak’s wife Jelena joining them as she earlier watched the thing from behind.
