Novak Djokovic was recently spotted spending quality time with his wife, Jelena, and kids Stefan and Tara. The Djokovic family was at a water park in Copacabana Beach, Dubrovnik, Croatia on Saturday. This family outing comes on the back of Novak’s Wimbledon loss.
Putting this loss behind him, Novak and his family seemed to be having a lot of fun. The former world number one was even captured kissing his wife. They were all in good spirits.

The water park is just by the beach and the family was observed trying to overcome various inflatable obstacles. Novak and Jelena were trying and failing to climb over them, as they slipped each time, much to the amusement of their kids.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion has a private yacht, that he was cruising on. The tennis legend named the boat after his youngest child, Tara, aged 5.

Djokovic was the frontrunner for winning the Wimbledon title this year- his 5th in a row at SW19. It did not happen, as Carlos Alcaraz staged a phenomenal victory over the defending champion.
Novak has won 7 Wimbledon titles in his career. He came very close to breaking Roger Federer’s record of 8 titles at the All-England Club. Nevertheless, Djokovic already has his sights set on his next target.
What’s next for Novak Djokovic?
The Serbian started the 2023 season in a spectacular fashion. He defended his Australian Open title successfully. Novak won 15 matches in a row before his form dipped a little before the start of the clay season.
It did not deter the world champion, as he got back into the swing and won the French Open. This victory made him edge past Rafael Nadal in the title race. Novak is currently the man with the most Grand Slam titles -23.
Djokovic was chasing Federer’s record at SW19 before Alcaraz threw a spanner in his plans. This Wimbledon loss means that Novak can no longer be the first player in 50 years to win a Calendar Slam.
Novak now has his eyes set on the next big prize, the US Open. He is a master of the hardcourts. He has won 13 of his major titles on the hard court, 3 of which are the US Open.
Djokovic can play in North American tournaments again. He had opted out of playing there due to their stringent COVID-19 laws. Since that is no longer an issue, Novak will try to make the most of it. The former world number one is eyeing his 24th Grand Slam title.
