WATCH: Djokovic practices with his son Stefan in new base after moving from Serbia

Novak Djokovic is already back on the tennis court after being eliminated from the 2025 US Open, although not at full intensity.

Djokovic's hopes of becoming the first singles player in tennis history to win 25 Grand Slams ended against Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals at Flushing Meadows. The eventual champion triumphed in straight sets.

Although Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have dominated the ATP Tour since the start of 2024, Djokovic probably entered the contest with some hope after winning their last two meetings, including at the 2025 Australian Open.

Djokovic flew home from New York to spend time with his family after being knocked out. However, the 38-year-old went to Greece instead of Serbia, and it has been reported that he now permanently resides there.

Regardless of whether Djokovic is there permanently or just for the short term, he decided to make use of the tennis facilities in Greece by having a hit with his son, Stefan, on one of the country's hard courts.

In the video below, Djokovic and Stefan are hitting cross-court forehands to each other. The tennis legend is striking at a reduced speed to give his son a chance in the rallies, but the boy's height means the bounce was quite high for him.

After Stefan miscued a forehand wide, he and Djokovic retrieved balls for them to continue with. They then resumed with the same drill of cross-court forehands. Djokovic's last shot in the video is an acute angle, making Stefan scramble off-screen.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion must have enjoyed the opportunity to unwind and spend time with his son in a low-pressure environment after spending the previous few weeks in New York pursuing another major title.

Djokovic has been open about how challenging travelling for tournaments is compared to the past because he wants to consistently spend time at home with his family. That makes the times they can travel with him even more special.

The Olympic Gold Medalist's only title this season occurred at May's 2025 Geneva Open. That was his first tournament appearance since splitting with Andy Murray earlier that month after just a few months together.

Djokovic won the title by beating Hubert Hurkacz 5-7, 7-6, 7-6 in a thrilling final. Although a 250-level crown on clay was not among the most significant moments of his career in isolation, it carried much weight because it was his 100th ATP title.

Since the ATP Tour's inception in 1990, only Roger Federer, with 103 titles, has secured more. However, overtaking his former rival's haul does not seem to be a priority for Djokovic, whose focus is on Grand Slams.

The touching moment with Stefan during his press conference after beating Hurkacz might have meant more to Djokovic than winning the 100th title. His son unexpectedly asked him a question, which made the tennis legend laugh.

Competing with Alcaraz and Sinner is getting increasingly difficult for Djokovic, even though his level at 38 is incredible. The strength he gets from his family's support is something that undoubtedly helps him to keep going.
