U.S. Open 2010: Ristic makes Djoko’s day
In the midst of an almost innumerable amount of spectators witnessing Novak Djokovic’s first round match was the Serb’s girlfriend, Jelena Ristic.
Looking as beautiful as ever, Ristic cheered the love of her life on as he opposed fellow country-man Viktor Troicki in his first round match.
Ristic was seen clenching her fists as her knight in shining armor went nip and tuck with Troicki. Nole took the first set 6-3. However, Viktor made a comeback in the second set that he took 6-3, only to worry poor Jelena.
Jelena seemed to have been getting tenser by the minute as Djokovic proceeded to lose the third set 2 games to 6. It was not long however, before Ristic was given a chance to smile again. The professional bounced back in the fourth set which he took 7 games to 5.
The stunning Serbian was seen wearing a chic pair of shades to go with her white hat and a beautiful blue spaghetti-strap top. With her nails nicely French manicured, Jelena also bore a silver necklace with a cross-charm on it.
Neither could Djokovic bear to disappoint his lady nor could the professional bear to disappoint himself. Either way, Nole took the deciding set of the match and eliminated companion, Viktor Troicki from the championship.
Novak took the fifth set 6 games to 3 to make a place for himself in the round to follow. Jelena seemed nothing short of ecstatic to have witnessed her man come out victorious. Seems like all that rooting paid off for the young woman.
The couple has apparently been dating since the year 2006. Ristic is said to have studied finance in Milan and is currently working in Monaco. The beautiful lady, quite evidently, enjoys tennis. Jelena has been seen cheering Djoko on in most of his matches.
In the year 2008 in Shanghai, Nole referred to Jelena as ‘Miss Universe’. “She’s a Miss Universe of 2006,” said Djoko, to the press, during the Tennis Masters Cup. The statement however, gave rise to rumors about the professional dating ‘Miss Universe,’ a title which Ristic never held. Nevertheless, Novak clarified that he merely meant the term in jest.
Apparently, the couple was said to have spent two weeks on a yacht before Novak started his 2009 hard-court summer session. The love-birds are usually seen in a pair almost everywhere. They made a personal trip to Italy for a ‘Sand and Sea Vacation’ earlier and were also seen together at a football match in Monaco.
As of now, the couple seems to share a rather healthy relationship. Many speculate that the two will tie the knot in the near future. Only time will tell. However, Ristic will most probably be seen rooting for her man in the future nonetheless.
