Novak Djokovic is one of the most impressive players in the world of men's tennis. The 34-year-old Serbian native has set the tennis world on fire for over two decades. He's won Wimbledon, The US Open, The French Open, and other top tournaments multiple times. Recently, Djokovic reached a big milestone by winning the French Open for the second time.
Aside from fans cheering him on, Djokovic had the support of his wife Jelena as he competes in the big event. When Jelena isn't cheering on her husband, she's busy raising their kids Stefan and Tara. Jelena also heads up the Novak Djokovic Foundation, which provides educational opportunities for children in Serbia.

Novak and Jelena's love story is something out of a romance novel. The pair began dating in 2005 while they were in high-school, and have been together ever since. After several years of dating, Novak proposed to Jelena in September 2013. Like most marriage proposals, Novak went all out when popping the question to his lady love.
The couple embarked on a romantic hot air balloon ride. Unbeknownst to Jelena, Novak had arranged for another hot air balloon to travel with them. As the other balloon came near, a banner was released asking "will you marry me?"
At first Jelena believed this was part of some commercial Novak was filming. But when she found him on bended knee, she realized this was the real deal. The couple married in July 2014, and Novak described his wife as "an angel" as she walked down the aisle in her wedding dress.
