Jelena has raised awareness and support for the Novak Djokovic Foundation, helping it grow and reach even more people. While Jelena’s philanthropic work with the foundation has become a significant part of her public persona, her journey to this influential role began long before her relationship with Novak.
Born in Serbia, Jelena prioritized her education and profession before going public. She graduated from Milan’s Bocconi University with a degree in business management and held positions in HR and finance.
Currently, she owns the “Novak 1” restaurant in Belgrade and continues to be actively involved with the Novak Djokovic Foundation, striving to ensure its success and have a good influence despite her hectic schedule.
In addition to advocating for her husband, Jelena has established her name and brand. She has also demonstrated that she is more than simply a tennis spouse.
