Novak Djokovic avoids getting in trouble with wife Jelena with a firm response to strange question

Novak Djokovic decided to pick his wife Jelena while answering a strange yet popular question and avoided getting into trouble that would’ve befell him had he taken any other name. However, the Serb revealed two other names that would’ve been safe answers.

Djokovic, alongside Arthur Fils, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Matteo Berrettini, and Grigor Dimitrov, appeared on a fun segment with Overtime Tennis, where they had to answer a tough question:

“Name a woman?” asked by West Von.

The Serb smartly named his wife Jelena and then made a hilarious joke. He also clarified that he could have also chosen his mother, Dijana, and his daughter, Tara.

“Name a woman. Anybody? Jelena, my wife. Otherwise, I get in trouble. I can name my mother, my wife, and my daughter.”

Interestingly, the 37-year-old was featured in another segment with Von, where the latter asked the former for some advice on how to approach a girl he was interested in. Upon hearing Von’s plan to like three pictures of the girl on Instagram, the Serb asked him to be bolder with his approach and said:

“I think your expectations are too high my friend, be proactive,” he said, offering the confident line: “You caught my attention.”

The Serb’s wisdom comes from his longtime happy marriage with Jelena. The two went to the same high school and dated for eight years before getting engaged in 2013. The longtime sweethearts finally married each other in July 2014, less than a week after he defeated Roger Federer in a thrilling five-set battle to win his second Wimbledon and seventh Grand Slam title.

Even after more than 10 years of being together, the couple’s love seems to have only increased.
