LONDON – Novak Djokovic’s children are the little stars of Wimbledon 2025. While Stefan Djokovic collects autographs from his father’s rivals, Tara Djokovic only has eyes for Aryna Sabalenka—and her fridge full of açaí.
Tara doesn’t play tennis like her older brother does, but she’s fascinated by the atmosphere—especially by the world No. 1 and what the Belarusian has to offer.
“Sabalenka is her favourite. She only cares about Sabalenka,” Djokovic told Serbian reporters in the press conference, with CLAY and RG among the media present.
“She keeps asking if she can go to her house again because she has a fridge full of açaí,” Djokovic said with a laugh, referring to the popular Brazilian fruit often served in smoothie bowls with granola and other toppings.
“We went the other day and she made some açaí for us. Since then, it’s all Tara can think about. She’s not too interested in tennis itself – it’s all about whether she can get some more of that açaí.”
Sabalenka’s partner, Brazilian Georgios Frangulis, is the founder of Oakberry, a global açaí brand. Naturally, the reigning US Open champion is also one of the faces of the company.
“Stefan has a grown man’s voice”
Do Djokovic’s children understand who their father really is?
The seven-time Wimbledon champion replied: “I don’t know, I think they do. It seems like they do. Then again, I don’t exactly go around asking them things like that, of course. Far from it – I’m first and foremost a father, and that’s the role I care most about playing in their lives.”
“I want to be involved in everything that’s not tennis, in all the important things I believe I should take responsibility for as a dad. That’s what means the most to me,” the former No. 1 added.
“It fills my heart with joy when I see them in the stands cheering. A lot of people have noticed and commented on how loud Stefan is – he really has a grown man’s voice, and I can hear him no matter where I am on the court. The support I get from him and Tara means the world to me,” said Djokovic, who will face Italy’s Flavio Cobolli for a spot in the semifinals, with his kids and wife Jelena Djokovic cheering from his box.
With few exceptions, Wimbledon is the only tournament where the entire Djokovic family stays together from start to finish.
The television broadcast showed 11-year-old Stefan active in the stands, wearing a cap signed by several players on tour.
“He approached to the players himself to ask for autographs — I think I only asked Jannik (Sinner), the rest he got on his own. He’s in over the moon! He loves tennis and has everyone’s autograph... except mine,” Djokovic said.
“He’s really excited to be at Wimbledon. Just like his dad — it’s his favourite tournament. He loves playing... It’s truly a pleasure to compete here. The grass courts, the quality — you don’t find that anywhere else in the world,” the Serbian added.
“This place is truly different, it has a unique feel. We have access to amazing facilities — training clubs and all that — so when he’s here with me, he gets to be around the best players, men and women. That means a lot to him.”
