The No. 1 tennis player is officially off the market.
Serbian
sports star Novak Djokovic, 26, confirmed his exciting news on
Wednesday, tweeting: 'Meet my fiancé and future wife :) So happy! Thank
you for wonderful wishes #NoleFam and friends!'
Along
with the celebratory tweet was a picture of Djokovic's longtime love
and now-fiancee, Jelena Ristic, affectionately kissing him on the cheek.
