On July 10, the pair will say “I Do,” in a ceremony where security is a priority.
The NY Post reported that the location of the wedding is likely to be Aman’s Villa Miločer, which was, at one time, the summer residence of Montenegro’s Queen Marya and Tito.
Although it’s not confirmed, some of the guests expected to be in attendance are Viktor Troicki, Janko Tipsarevic, Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, Nenad Zimonjic, Andy Murray and Maria Sharapova.
Tennis X reported that all their gifts will be given to the Novak Djokovic foundation.
5. They Support Each Other

When they started dating, it wasn’t easy, since he was an aspiring tennis player and she was a poor student.
In an interview with PTC, she said:
Us getting together was like science fiction almost. I was a student barely getting by, and he was a very young tennis player who also had no money to spare on expensive trips. Airplanes were, at the time, something utterly out of our reach. We contrived and devised these plans how to meet, how to make our relationship work.
Ristic gushed at how their support system works both ways.
She told the Daily Mail:
The emotional support we give to each other is very important. It’s the same for me as well. He is very supportive and encouraging of the work that I do.
