Novak Djokovic took to Instagram on Wednesday to celebrate his ten-year anniversary with his wife Jelena after the Serbian tennis star advanced to the semi-finals of Wimbledon.
The eight-time Wimbledon champion posted several videos and pictures of himself and his partner on the social media platform over the years and penned a 98-word message to his partner in the caption.
Jelena, 38, reportedly met her partner Novak, 37, in high school and the pair began dating in 2005. The pair have been together ever since and were married in the grounds of Montenegro’s exclusive Aman Sveti Stefan resort, back in 2014. They also have two children together, Stefan and a daughter Tara.
She is regularly seen watching on from the stands as her husband vies for glory on the tennis court and was pictured at Wimbledon this week, watching her husband defeat Holger Rune in the last 16 of the men’s singles tournament.
But on the anniversary of their wedding, Novak took to Instagram to celebrate 10 years of marriage with his wife with a heartwarming video.

Djokovic also added a heartwarming caption to the video, where he issude a 98-word note to his wife, telling her ‘I love you forever’
He opened the clip with a picture of the pair dancing slowly together, before adding several pictures of them hugging, dancing and smiling.
‘Ten years of joy, Ten years of dreams, Ten years as islands, Ten years as streams,’ Djokovic wrote.
‘Ten years as parents, Ten years as one, Ten years of dancing, Ten years of fun.
‘Ten years of yoga, Ten years we stretch, Ten years of dogs, Ten years go fetch.
‘Ten years of flying, Ten years at sea, Ten years of you, The best part of me.
‘Ten years of tennis, Ten years of balls, Ten years of triumph, Ten years of falls.
‘Ten years as teammates, Ten years together, Ten years Jelena, I love you forever. I love you.’
Jelena, who was born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, is a co-founder and global CEO of the Novak Djokovic Foundation, an organisation that aims to give greater early childhood education opportunities to children in Serbia.
In the fledgling years of their relationship, Jelena would juggle her studies alongside a modelling career as well as work in several campaigns.
The pair were recently spotted exchanging in a tense conversation at the French Open during Novak’s five-set thriller against Francisco Cerundulo.

Cameras caught the moment, with Djokovic gesturing with his hands as he shouted up at his team, before Jelena was spotted standing up in the box responding in kind to the tennis player.
Djokovic would ultimately retire from the French Open due to a medial meniscus tear in his knee and underwent surgery to rectify the injury.
Concerns were raised over whether the seven-time champion would be fit for Wimbledon, but he has now secured a berth to the semi-finals of the men’s singles today after Alex de Minaur withdrew with a hip injury.
Djokovic also blasted the crowd on Centre Court following his win against Rune, after the Serbian appeared to be booed by some sections of the crowd.
During his post-match interview, the 37-year-old replied to the crowd: ‘ ‘I know all the tricks… you can’t touch me.’
He added: ‘To all the fans that have had respect and stayed here tonight, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I appreciate it,’ he began. ‘And to all those people that have chosen to disrespect the player – in this case me – have a goooooooood night.’

‘They were. They were [disrespecting me],’ he insisted to BBC presenter Rishi Persad who had implied that the crowd was just cheering for his opponent, shouting ‘Ruuuune’. ‘I am not accepting it. No no no. I know they were cheering for Rune but that’s an excuse to also boo.
‘Listen, I have been on the tour for more than 20 years. I know all the tricks. I know how it works. It’s fine, it’s fine.
‘I focus on the respectful people that pay for the ticket, and love tennis and appreciate the players and the effort the players put in here.
‘I played in much more hostile environments, trust me – you guys can’t touch me.’
