In a deeply emotional and devastating update that has left the tennis world stunned, the family of tennis icon Novak Djokovic released a heart-wrenching statement just moments ago, confirming that his wife, Jelena Djokovic, was involved in a serious ATV (all-terrain vehicle) accident over the weekend. The news has sent shockwaves through fans worldwide, with many sending their prayers and support to the Djokovic family during this incredibly difficult time.

 The Accident: What Happened?

According to early reports, Jelena was involved in an ATV accident while the family was spending a quiet weekend at a private mountain property near Zlatibor, Serbia. She was reportedly driving a recreational vehicle on uneven terrain when the ATV flipped during a sharp turn, causing her to be thrown several meters from the vehicle.

Eyewitnesses stated that Novak and his younger brother, Djordje, rushed to her side within seconds, as she lay motionless. Emergency responders were called immediately, and Jelena was airlifted to a private hospital in Belgrade due to the severity of her injuries.

 The Family’s Statement

This morning, the Djokovic family released the following statement through their official spokesperson:

“We are deeply saddened to confirm that Jelena Djokovic was involved in a serious accident over the weekend. While she is currently in stable condition and receiving the best medical care possible, the injuries she sustained are significant and will require time and rehabilitation.

As a family, we are overwhelmed with emotion, but we are thankful for the outpouring of support and prayers from around the world. Jelena is a fighter, and we believe in her strength. We ask for privacy during this deeply personal time.”

 Jelena’s Current Condition

Though official details about her exact injuries remain private, medical sources suggest that Jelena sustained fractures to her left shoulder and ribs, along with multiple bruises and a concussion. Fortunately, there was no internal bleeding, and doctors are optimistic about her recovery.

She remains under close observation, and her condition is currently labeled “stable but serious.” Neurologists are monitoring her closely due to the concussion, and she will remain hospitalized for at least a week.

 Novak Djokovic Reportedly “Shattered”

Sources close to the Djokovic family report that Novak is “absolutely shattered” by the incident. Friends say he has canceled all immediate training and public appearances and is staying by Jelena’s bedside around the clock.

An insider shared:

“Novak hasn’t left her side since the accident. He’s been crying, praying, and holding her hand. He blames himself for encouraging the weekend trip. This has shaken him deeply.”
