Novak Djokovic and his then-girlfriend Jelena Ristic have been dating in public since 2005, according to the International Business Times. The couple has dated throughout a large part of Novak's rise to his peak as the number one ranked tennis player in the world after the couple reportedly met in Serbia. The two were apparently introduced to each other by mutual friends in Jelena's country of birth.
By all accounts, Jelena has been a constant presence in Novak's games, attending all of his matches, including his coup at the Wimbledon 2011 finals, when Novak bested Rafael Nadal in a stunning upset that boosted him to the number one spot that year.
Novak went on to reclaim his number one rank in July 2014. A few days after, the couple got married in a seaside ceremony on the Adriatic.
