July 30, 2024

Novak Djokovic had every reason to celebrate as he defeated Spain's Rafael Nadal on Monday in the second round of the men's tennis singles at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Serbian tennis player's wife, Jelena Djokovic, was seen cheering on her husband from the sidelines as he reigned supreme against the former number one. Her unmistakable elegance set her apart as one of the best-dressed guests at the Roland Garros stadium. 

Looking like a 1950s Hollywood sweetheart, Jelena wore a simple V-neck top with a large oversized straw visor.

"The most beautiful lady of the tennis world," a fan recently declared on her Instagram page, while another agreed: "Jelena you have style, charisma, and grace. Let them learn from you what is good, old style in fashion. You are one of a kind."
