Tennis legend Novak Djokovic recently made a quick trip to Greece, sparking speculation that he may be considering a permanent move to the country in the coming years and is reportedly looking for a school for his two children.
As he nears the end of a storied career, having won more Grand Slams than any other male tennis player, it’s natural for Djokovic to contemplate his future, and Greece appears to be a significant consideration. The Serbian superstar has visited Greece numerous times and has openly expressed his affection for the country and its people. However, his latest visit suggests more than just a vacation.
According to a video from Gazzetta.gr, Djokovic was seen in the Kifissia area, reportedly visiting local educational institutions for his children, indicating a potential imminent relocation to Greece. The tennis legend has two children: a son named Stefan and a daughter named Tara. His wife is Jelena Djokovic.

He has publicly thanked former Greek officer Marinos Ritsoudis for refusing to participate in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, further solidifying a connection and appreciation for Greek individuals and their actions.
Novak Djokovic has established himself as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. His career is marked by an unparalleled list of achievements, including a record 24 Grand Slam men’s singles titles, a testament to his dominance across all surfaces. He holds the record for the most weeks as world No. 1, with an astonishing 428 weeks, and has finished as the year-end No. 1 a record eight times.
Djokovic is also the only man to achieve a “Career Golden Masters,” winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, a feat he has accomplished twice.
His collection of 100 singles titles, including seven ATP Finals wins, further solidifies his place in tennis history. He also achieved a significant milestone by winning an Olympic gold medal in singles at the 2024 Paris Olympics, completing a career “Golden Slam.”
In 2007, Djokovic founded the Novak Djokovic Foundation. The organization’s mission is to help children from disadvantaged communities grow up and develop in stimulating and safe environments.
The foundation partnered with the World Bank in August 2015 to promote early childhood education in Serbia. His foundation has built at least 50 schools, and supported more than 20,800 children and over a thousand families.
