Novak Djokovic began his quest for his 25th Grand Slam title at the 2024 Australian Open on Sunday (January 14). During Djokovic’s match against Dino Prižmić, a fan hilariously proposed to the Serb while he was about to serve.
In a thrilling match lasting four hours, the World No.1 defeated the 18-year-old Croatian Dino Prižmić in the first-round on Sunday 6-2, 6-7(5-7), 6-3, 6-4.
On Sunday, an X (formerly Twitter) user posted a short clip featuring the Serb bouncing the ball and preparing to serve against Prižmić. Amidst the silence, a voice from the crowd offered a marriage proposal to Djokovic. He was all smiles and responded that he was already married and then continued playing.
“Marry me, Novak,” the fan said.
“I am already married,” he responded.
The Serbian tennis icon got married to his wife Jelena in July 2014. The couple have two children: their son Stefan, born in 2014, and their daughter Tara born in 2017.
The 2024 edition of the Australian Open marks the 19th time the 37-year-old is competing in the tournament. Out of these 19 appearances, he has secured victory 10 times, establishing the record for the most Australian Open titles held by a male player.
