Novak Djokovic might be busy on the tour trying to close in on Andy Murray’s world No.1 ranking position, but life is about to get busier for him away from the court.

In an exclusive story published by Serbian newspaper Blic on Sunday, Djokovic’s wife Jelena is reported to be pregnant with his second child. According to the publication, Mrs Djokovic is in her second month of pregnancy and will be resting in Monte Carlo.

“Jelena suspected at the beginning of the year that she is pregnant so she decided to visit a doctor who confirmed the happy news,” said a source close to Djokovic family according to InSerbia.
“Jelena told the news to Novak by telephone, she did not wait to come home. Both of them literally screamed with joy because they always wished to have two children.”

There is yet to be any formal confirmation from the Djokovic camp of the news. The couple had their first child in 2014. Stefan Đoković was born on October 22nd that year in Monte Carlo.

Djokovic one out of four parents ranked in the top 10 on the ATP Emirates rankings. Andy Murray welcomed his first daughter in 2016. Stan Wawrinka has a daughter called Alexia, who was born in 2010. Final Roger Federer is a father of four with two sets of twins (Myla Rose and Charlene Riva born in 2009 and Leo and Lennart born in 2014).
