The fanatical quest to constantly improve as a tennis player is mirrored by an obsessive curiosity about how to best take care of his physical and mental well-being. At times it has drawn him into the realm of faddism and ranting, sometimes dangerously so. He faces one of his biggest tests tomorrow when he takes on Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final – arguably one of the most controversial players at this year’s tournament. However, Novak was not without controversy himself – denouncing vaccinations, claiming that the “Bosnian pyramids” near Sarajevo emit a mystical energy and positive thoughts can purify water.
And just like her husband, Jelena, 35, has a number of unusual beliefs – and is no stranger to controversy after sharing online conspiracy theories with her thousands of Instagram followers. In April 2020, Instagram published a “fake information” tag on its stories after it shared a conspiracy video about 5G causing the coronavirus. The mother-of-two, who met her husband when they were teenagers, describes herself as “open-minded” with a “never-satisfied hunger for knowledge” on her blog.

Tree-hugging Novak and his wife Jelena both have an obsessive curiosity about how to best look after their physical and mental wellbeing – by sharing conspiracy theories online (pictured left and right) Among the snaps Novak recently shared on Instagram was a photo of him stepping out onto the tennis court – while blindfolded Writing online, Jelena explained: “I change and transform at such a rate that it’s really hard to label or put me in a specific box. “I am everywhere and nowhere. Completely misunderstood and underestimated.’
“All of my research revolves around finding the answer to that simple question, ‘How do you live a healthy life with purpose?’ “I look for answers in various books on psychology, self-help, business, entrepreneurship, spirituality and nutrition. I will share my findings and conclusions as I have learned by now that the best way to remember the new things we find is to write them down. Djokovic and his wife Jelena live in Monte Carlo with their two children, Tara, two, and Stefan, five. Jelena’s blog features posts about how she learned to mediate in Ecuador, links to the controversial vegan documentary Cowspiracy, and shares tips on “finding your true self” (pictured with Novak) “The beauty of being a seeker of knowledge is that you can take any path you want. There is no right or wrong, there is just a process of learning and shaping and growing. It can take you anywhere. “As my blog grows, we’ll see where this road takes me and I’ll do my best to share what I learn with you so we can both grow together.” Her blog features posts about how she learned to mediate in Ecuador, links to the controversial vegan documentary Cowspiracy, and shares tips on “finding your true self” But this “knowledge” he seeks (and shares) sometimes has little ground in reality. In April 2020, Instagram published a “fake information” tag on its stories after it shared a conspiracy video about 5G causing the coronavirus. The mother-of-two and Novak’s childhood sweetheart often shares snaps of the pair exploring nature (pictured) with her Instagram followers Immediately after the outbreak of the pandemic, Novak took part in a live Facebook discussion with other Serbian athletes in which he said he “is against vaccinations”.

From running a charity to sharing conspiracy theories online: The world of Novak’s VERY eccentric wife

In the early days of her relationship with Novak, Jelena was a successful model, starring in several high-profile campaigns The childhood sweethearts tied the knot in July 2014 at the exclusive Aman Sveti Stefan resort in Montenegro. Jelena, who was pregnant with the couple’s first child at the time, wore a dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. In the early days of her relationship with Novak, Jelena was a successful model, starring in several high-profile campaigns. But Jelena is just as smart as she is beautiful – she graduated from university in Milan with a master’s degree and now works as the director of the Novak Foundation, which invests in early childhood education in Serbia. Jelena helps manage the Novak Djokovic Foundation, which raises money for early childhood education and inclusive preschool programs for children from disadvantaged communities. She is also often spotted in the yard struggling to keep a poker face. He regularly appears on the verge of tears or reacts angrily to decisions made by the referee. Jelena once said about her inability to control her emotions during matches: “You can get very passionate when you see your friend from the players’ box. “We just want them to be happy. You don’t want to see them hurt. If they’re not happy, neither are you.’

The mother-of-two and Novak’s childhood sweetheart posted a 10-minute video by US-based Dr Thomas Cowan, which falsely explained that 5G played a role in the creation of the coronavirus pandemic. She was heavily criticized for spreading “fake news” as her platform reached almost half a million people through Instagram. Instagram made the decision to step in through what they call “independent fact checkers” and the video is now covered by a “Fake Info” screen every time someone visits her profile. She later clarified her position in a statement, insisting that she has taken an interest in the field, rather than explicitly endorsing the theory at this point, as she “doesn’t claim that it’s true or not.”
“I shared the video a few days ago for only one reason – it mentions the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, which are relevant to my area of ​​interest and business, and therefore my interest in this video was greater than the sea content I receive,” reads the statement, shared by EssentiallySports. “Specifically, Steiner schools and kindergartens are located in 76 countries (Waldorf schools) and for some time now I have been meeting their work and studying the curriculum. Steiner’s philosophy and work on biodynamic agriculture encouraged me to learn more, which I have devoted myself to in recent months. “Well it makes sense to me, I’m not claiming to be true or not, but I’m certainly interested in learning and being informed about it.” Just two years ago, he participated in a live Facebook discussion with other Serbian athletes in which he denounced vaccines. “Personally, I am against vaccination and I would not want someone to force me to get vaccinated so that I can travel,” he said. “But if it becomes mandatory, what will happen? I will have to make a decision.’ Meanwhile, he made headlines last year after announcing he had skipped vaccination requirements for an undisclosed reason and was heading to Australia. The spontaneous nature of his social media post was ill-judged and angered a population that has been subjected to more lockdowns than anywhere else in the world. Not only does he possess great athletic ability, but a giant pair of tin ears. This brutal clash with public opinion – not to mention opportunistic Australian politicians – has been a long time coming, a course charted since the start of the pandemic. The roots of his health beliefs are established beyond Covid, back to the beginning of the last decade. It was then that he diagnosed himself with a wheat allergy by pressing a slice of bread into his stomach. Always a deep thinker with a sharp mind – he has taught himself to converse in seven languages, for example – the more successful he became, the more interested he became in the workings of body and mind. Jelena has come under fire for spreading ‘fake news’ as her platform reaches nearly half a million people through Instagram In 2016 he began working with Spanish coach Pepe Imaz, a strong believer in meditation whose theories extend, quite literally, to the power of hugging trees. He instituted the “peace and love” gestures that accompany the Serb’s post-match victories. When Djokovic began developing elbow problems the following year, he tried holistic treatments before finally opting for conventional surgery. He later revealed that he cried for three days afterwards, over his failure to solve the problem through natural medicine. By then he was already a big believer in using hyperbaric chambers – where his body is exposed to pure oxygen at a much higher pressure than normal – actually bringing a portable version in a truck that will be parked at Flushing Meadows for the US Open. Djokovic is obsessed with holistic treatments and once revealed he cried for three days after conventional surgery Djokovic believes the “Bosnian pyramids” near Sarajevo emit a mystical energy. Here Semir Osmanagic, an archaeologist famous for his unorthodox theories about them, stands near a Once the virus stopped the world in its tracks, the full extent of his left-field views became more apparent. After his Facebook exchange – which earned him a public rebuke from one of Serbia’s top epidemiologists – he engaged in Instagram live streams with his friend, self-proclaimed health…
