Novak Djokovic’s son Stefan steals spotlight as he clicks photo of dad and Jelena at 2026 Winter Olympics

Novak Djokovic was not holding a tennis racket this time. Instead, he was smiling in front of a famous church in Italy while his 11-year-old son Stefan clicked his photo. Just weeks after losing the 2026 Australian Open final to Carlos Alcaraz, Djokovic chose to spend time with his family at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

He was there with his wife, Jelena Djokovic, son Stefan, and daughter Tara. The 24-time Grand Slam champion shared moments from the trip on Instagram on Wednesday, February 11, but one picture stood out. Novak Djokovic and Jelena Djokovic were posing in front of the Milan Cathedral, and Stefan was the one taking the photo. It was simple, sweet, and very real. Later, the picture was also shared widely on X. During the Games, Djokovic was also seen reacting with pure shock to American figure skater Ilia Malinin’s stunning backflip on the ice.

The Serbian star had his hands on his head, clearly amazed by what he was watching.

Novak Djokovic reflects on son Stefan’s tennis future after Winter Olympics family visit

This family trip came months after Novak Djokovic spoke openly about Stefan’s possible future in tennis. In late 2025, he appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored. When asked if he would support his son if he chose tennis, Djokovic gave a heartfelt reply.“I am slowly trying to introduce the world of tennis and sports and all of these things to him and I can’t throw everything at him at once.

I’m picking and choosing the right moments. If this is the journey that he chooses to have, I’m going to be one million percent behind him, supporting him every step of the way,” Novak Djokovic said.He then added with a laugh, “Of course I wouldn’t let him beat me. I would kick his a**.”Djokovic’s comments showed both his playful side and his caring side as a father. He made it clear that Stefan will choose his own path, and he will stand by him fully.Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic recently confirmed he has withdrawn from the upcoming ATP 500 event in Doha, Qatar. He said he is dealing with fatigue and needs more time to recover.Right now, though, tennis is not the main focus. Family time is. From cheering at the Winter Olympics to posing for a photo taken by his son, Novak Djokovic looked relaxed and happy. After a tough loss in Melbourne, this quiet moment in Italy may have been exactly what he needed.
