Novak Djokovic: His Wife Jelena, His Net Worth and the Grand Slam Record of 24 Majors

Jelena Djokovic is best known in her own right for the foundation. It started in 2007 with the goal of helping children from disadvantaged communities get access to preschool education, and the ATP lists its results: 37 projects completed, 17 schools renovated or built, more than 600 teachers trained and 7,500 children reached. Jelena also founded Original Magazine, which the foundation uses to reach more than 35,000 students. The foundation has been the public side of the Novak Djokovic wife and family story for nearly two decades; in 2015 the foundation partnered with the World Bank on early-childhood development.

The wider family is a sporting one. His parents, Srdjan and Dijana, ran a pizzeria at Kopaonik, the mountain resort four hours from Belgrade, and as a child he sometimes lived with his grandfather Vlada in the city while they worked. His father, an uncle and an aunt were professional skiers. His younger brothers Marko and Djordje both played on tour and partnered him in doubles. An uncle, Goran, runs the Novak Djokovic winery, which released its first labels in 2022.

He speaks Serbian, English, Italian, German and French. His biography has one more detail that explains a lot about the second half of his career. He has eaten gluten-free since 2011.

The first came in Melbourne in 2008 against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the 24th in New York in 2023 against Daniil Medvedev. Read the columns down and the pattern of his career appears, with the Australian Open almost every other year, Wimbledon in clusters, and Roland Garros, the hardest for him, three times. The 2016 title in Paris, against Andy Murray, made him the holder of all four majors at once.

The Grand Slam guides here cover each event: Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and US Open, and the four majors compared. His seven Wimbledon titles leave him one short of the men's record, which our list of who has won the most Wimbledon titles sets out, and his 24th major, won at 36, puts him on the list of the oldest Grand Slam winners. Away from the majors, no man has won the Paris Masters more often than his seven titles; our Paris Masters prize money guide has the purse and the past champions.
