Novak Djokovic Anxious About Baby, Falls To Roger Federer At Shanghai Masters? Wife Jelena Ristic Due Date In One Month, Baby Gender Unknown

Novak Djokovic may be just a little too excited to become a father! Rather uncharacteristically, he fell to Roger Federer at the semifinal of Shanghai Masters. But few things get Novak Djokovic sad these days. With his wife Jelena Ristic expecting the baby in less than one month, the Serb has no problem keeping a smile on this face!

Roger Federer beat Novak Djokovic in a simple two setter, 6-4, 6-4, and secured a passage to Shanghai Masters final. In an interview, the current world number 1 admitted to APT Tour that “Federer is playing better than ever.”

Having beaten the Swiss in almost all of the recent court encounters, the only explanation for Novak Djokovic’s subpar performance is the the fact that his wife Jelena Ristic is expecting their first baby in less than one month!

“We are expecting it to happen in about a month,” Novako told Tennis X on Tuesday. “So for now I’m playing here. I’m playing Shanghai. I’m supposed to play Paris and London. Nothing particularly changes in terms of tennis schedule.”

Looks like he is trying to distract himself from the baby anxiety by keeping himself busy in as many ATP tournaments as possible!

His wife Jelena Ristic is super supportive of his career. She even posted a picture of her dog following the match from the comforts of their home:

Since their fairytale wedding, Novak Djokovic and Jelena Ristic haven’t been too public with baby updates and details like gender, due date and the like. But we can definitely count on seeing little Djokernole sometime in early November!

Do you think the gender of Novak’s baby will be a girl or a boy? Let me know in the comments below!
