Novak Djokovic's Wife Jelena Confirms He Predicted His Australian Open Win

| by Sebastian Dahlman

Jelena Djokovic, wife of the 22-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, confirmed that her husband had indeed predicted his Australian Open victory three weeks prior.

Novak's enigmatic gesture during his celebration at the 2023 Adelaide International now makes perfect sense, despite some previously arguing that it was a coincidence or that the Serb wouldn't predict his own triumph ahead.

After an intense match against Sebastian Korda at the Adelaide International, the tennis legend celebrated his victory with a series of curious gestures. Onlookers were left puzzled as Djokovic pointed to his head 22 times while glancing at his box, predicting his 22nd major triumph three weeks later.

While some skeptics dismissed the correlation between the 22 head points and his 22nd Grand Slam title as mere coincidence, Jelena Djokovic put the debate to rest. In a recent Instagram post, she shared the video of her husband's Adelaide celebration, accompanied by the caption "Well spotted."

The confirmation from Jelena has put an end to the speculation and solidified Novak Djokovic's status as a tennis visionary.

Now, the Serb will want to envision himself holding 23rd Grand Slam trophy in his hands, but that will be a much more difficult task, as his biggest rival, Rafael Nadal will be doing the same thing.

Both players are now away from the ATP Tour. While Djokovic couldn't enter the United States to compete in Indian Wells, Nadal was stopped by an injury, and he is already preparing on the clay courts to be ready for the Roland Garros, where he'll want to win his 15th title and 23rd major overall.
