Novak Djokovic strengthened his bond with One Direction’s Niall Horan during ATP Finals. Tennis’ Mr. Congeniality certainly has friends in all places! As a new father to Jelena Ristic’s first baby boy Stefan, the world number 1 may be seeing the world in rose-colored glasses.

He also expressed his excitement for Rio 2016 Olympics. Looks like he is looking to have a long and healthy career with Jelena Ristic and Stefan on his side!

When his baby was born, Novak Djokovic tweeted, “Stefan, our baby angel was born! I am so proud of my beautiful wife Jelena! Thank you so much for your love and support. We love you all!!!”

That excitement bled into the rest of October and November. He won ATP Finals this year, which confirmed his world number 1 ranking.

Before the ranking was confirmed, according to NDTVSports, he said, "Honestly, the way I feel right now, I feel like I'm already number one with becoming a father last week.”

According to Economic Times, he also said, “It's one of my biggest dreams. I love Rio and Brazil. I've only been there once, when I played Guga (Gustavo Kuerten) in an exhibition match. It was one of the best experiences that I've had. The crowd was very receptive.

“Brazilians love their sport. The (football) World Cup this year was a success and now they are looking at hosting the Olympics. I'm looking forward to it."

One Direction’s Niall Horan definitely enjoyed watching watching his big “brother” play phenomenal tennis. Looks like Novak Djokovic turned one of the One Direction boys into a big tennis fan!
