I just read on Daily Mail that Dover has canceled his Montenegro wedding in order to focus on Wimbledon. It says he would marry his fiancee after Wimbledon. It’s DM so takes it with a grain of salt.
It should be “Djoker”. I hate auto correction.
Hope he doesn’t do a McIlroy.
For his fiancée’s and their baby’s sake, I hope not either. But didn’t he agree to the date beforehand? Did she pick the date without his input? Who would pick a wedding date between FO and Wimbledon for a tennis player? The story sounds weird.
I strongly suspect Djokovic, again, believed the hype and propaganda that he was going to win RG 2014. So, the wedding was originally planned to take place just after the RG as icing on the RG cake. You see, to him, winning RG would have eclipsed trying to win Wimby therefore he would not have needed to prepare for Wimby. When he failed to win, again, he then decided he needed to pay more attention to Wimby afterall because he hasn’t won a Slam in ……how many years?
It’s all about himself…………..
^^^^I had assumed the marriage would be on the scale of a ‘Royal Wedding’ in Belgrade – complete with a national holiday!!!!!!
Remember his Homecoming after he won Wimbledon and became Numero Un? That was organised by his mother through the family sports promotion business. I’m surprised the event is not being used as a golden opportunity for world-wide media coverage. Instead we’re being drip-fed information via Twitter.

RT @NeilHarmanTimes: “In praise of @DjokerNole a great champion who, sadly, too few people understand http://thetim.es/1jjRd9j ”
Erh….people are no mugs. If they do not understand Djoko, it’s because well, he is not making himself well-understood.
Yeah, the Wimbledon crowd is disrespectful.
Secondly, I am wondering why Mr. Harman hasn’t noticed empty seats during Fed’s matches.
RT @TheBorisBecker: “Can’t believe what Peter #Bodo from @ESPNTennis wrote about @DjokerNole and me in his blog today! Have a bit respect for the new Nr.1!”
Boris, you will soon learn that (if you’re still around as Novak’s coach, that is) the Federazzi do not take kindly to ANYONE:
a. administering a regular beating on their God; and
b. creeping up on the Slam count, GOAR-dom is taken, do not disturb.
If Novak insists on ignoring the above, he will soon find that all those Fedfans who had become Nolefans will soon withdraw their affection for him.
The chief Federazzi, Bodo, is merely sounding a warning volley.
You have been warned.
Ricky, un-moderate my post of 9:49 am please.
My post of 9:49 am should read, “…………. GOAT-dom is taken, do not disturb.”
No sign of the official wedding photos yet, doesn’t matter, congratulations Novak and Jelena, may all your problems be little ones!

Novak Djokovic Gets Married Today at Site Fit for Wimbledon’s King

Today, the score is love all for Novak Djokovic. The world’s number one ranked tennis player, who just celebrated his seventh grand slam championship ay Wimbledon last weekend, is to be married in a two-day wedding event to his longtime girlfriend Jelena Ristic.
Djokovic and Ristic are set for a civil wedding ceremony at the idyllic Adriatic resort of Sveti Stefan in Montenegro. On Saturday there will be a private church wedding, a source confirmed to ABC News.
Sveti Stefan, the setting for the pre-wedding party, is a tiny 15th century town, perched on a rocky outcropping over the Adriatic, its only connection to the mainland, a narrow causeway longer than several football fields. With its thick town walls and narrow streets of cottages roofed in terracotta, the scenic village is one of the loveliest and most exclusive resorts on the southern Adriatic coast.
Inside the town walls, guests can stroll through narrow, twisting streets, dotted with pines and palm trees and abundant plots of flowering oleanders, and trees laden with figs and oranges.
The wedding couple are expecting their first child in October. They clearly want their church ceremony to be private and the isolated spot on the exclusive resort island should assure the presence of only their closest friends and families.
In the Balkans, the Djokovic wedding is more than a big deal. The king of Wimbledon has almost royal status, and local media have been calling the event “The wedding of the century.” Some have even labeled Djokovic and Ristic the “Will and Kate” of the Balkans, after England’s royal couple.
Employees at the Sveti Stefan resort have had to sign confidentiality agreements not to reveal even the smallest detail of the wedding. Mobile phones have been banned from the venue, to prevent any unauthorized pictures from the wedding, according to reports.
The Djokovics will have pictures, but the rights to them have been sold to Hello magazine for a regal sum, which will go to charity.
Adding to the size of one of the largest events in the Balkans in recent memory, large contingents are expected from the police and state security services from both Serbia and Montenegro.
Already, local media say roads to Milocer and Sveti Stefan have been sealed off from the public, with polite security officers stationed every few yards. There is a police scuba-diving squad standing by, and an anti-terrorist unit on alert.
Montenegro has seen this before, but usually only when high ranking politicians or heads of state are visiting. In the 1960s and 1970s people like Sophia Loren, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were frequent Sveti Stefan visitors, and it was rumored that it was the destination of choice for the British Crown Prince Charles and Diana’s honeymoon, until press attention forced the couple to change their plans.
In 1992, Sveti Stefan got global attention when the famously reclusive American chess champion Bobby Fischer broke his two decade long self-exile from the game to play a $5 million match against his old nemesis, Russian grandmaster Boris Spassky. This event defied an American ban on business in Yugoslavia, then being torn apart by the war in Bosnia.
Djokovic and Ristic are high school sweethearts and have been together for more than eight years. Jelena runs Novak Djokovic Foundation, and the couple have asked that all wedding gifts benefit the foundation.

Sorry for the double post. Ricky, please delete one of them. Thanks.
Video. Fed’s wife and agent (Tony Godstick) are busy with using a phone instead of congratulating Djoko.

For a moment I thought this photo was at Djoker’s wedding.
^^Actually, I like that of Mirka. It is immediately after the match, she is massively disappointed her husband lost. She is in no mood to put on a fake smile and give fake congratulations, bully for her! In any case, he just won a tennis tournament, not discovered a cure for cancer….
If somebody of Rafa’s team/people acted this way, the Federazzi would attack them as angry wasps.

Djoko shows in the picture WHY he had to get married.
Low blow.
^^If it got any lower than that I would very worried if I was the happy couple! 😉
Wedding pics for Gussie…

I have seen them on TW.
Congratulations to Novak and his new wife. Nice pictures.
I can understand why BB sold his wedding pics to Hallo – he’s up to his eyes in debt – but it’s not like Djokovic needs the money. And the shots of him with his hands on her bump are just plain tacky.
#AttentionSeeking
I think the money goes to his foundation.
I guess you’re right but it was billed as a private affair for family and close friends which doesn’t sit well with splashing some rather tasteless photographs around the world in Hallo.
@ed251137, it’s Hello, hello! Tacky is Hello’s stock in trade. Remember, Djokovic and Jelena sold the rights to the pictures to Hello, so Hello picked the poses. I agree with @nadline10, the money must be going to the Foundation.
No sign of Marian Vajda in any of the pics but BB features widely.
@ed251137, just for you, found a wedding picture with Vajda in it, looking his usual diffident self:
http://instagram.com/p/qi8G-hkf1j/
Thanks RITB. was beginning to wonder if there had been a falling out. If I were Vajda I would be right pissed off at all the plaudits lobbed BB’s way after the Wimby title with no mention of his own role in steering Nole to the top of the game for all those years. I have the impression there is no love lost between the real coach and the so-called Head Coach.
^^Good Gosh, BB has even been taking some credit for Germany’s World Cup win! The man is truly shameless. As Vajda, he strikes me as the relaxed type, unflappable, the kind who can rationalize an earthquake. I think he looks at BB but doesn’t actually see him………….if you get my meaning.
BB: “We are two different people and it took time to start understanding one another” revealed Boris, “but we always had a great amount of respect for each other. I take him very seriously and I like to think that he does the same with me and enjoys it. Together we have fun, and I am getting closer to the other members of his family. A friendship? Well, let’s say that Novak is not the person I would want to take with me on a weekend in Ibiza”.

^^Why BB, you don’t like cavorting with inflatable dolls? Don’t tell me, you’re a man of taste…………….
Well, knock me down with a feather………

Who is he trying to kid?
ed, do you care? I don’t.
I think somebody at the BBC is having a laugh.
He is stating the obvious. Changes nothing with respect to tennis except perhaps to make him stronger.
