Novak Djokovic’s wife Jelena sends a rare message to Carlos Alcaraz after Spaniard’s stunning French Open win over Jannik Sinner
Jelena Djokovic’s Rare One-Word Message to Carlos Alcaraz After French Open 2025 Triump
Jelena Djokovic, wife of tennis legend Novak Djokovic, sent a rare one-word message, “Bravo,” to Carlos Alcaraz via Instagram Stories on June 8, 2025, following his stunning 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2) victory over Jannik Sinner in the French Open 2025 men’s final, per Sportskeeda.com. Typically reserved about other players’ wins, Jelena’s reaction highlighted the emotional impact of Alcaraz’s comeback from two sets down and saving three championship points in a five-hour, 29-minute epic—the longest Roland Garros final ever, per The Athletic.
Alcaraz, 22, defended his title with what Andre Agassi called superior defensive speed, feel, and RPMs compared to Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer, per Sportskeeda.com. Jelena’s post came hours after Alcaraz shared his victory on Instagram, captioned, “Another dream achieved! Thank you, Paris!” per Tennis.com. Unlike Novak, who left Paris without commenting after his semi-final loss to Sinner (6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3)), Jelena’s gesture echoed the sportsmanship of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, who also congratulated Alcaraz, with Nadal posting, “Congratulations @carlosalcaraz!” on X, per The Mirror.
Fans on X, like @TennisFanatic, praised Jelena’s class, noting, “She’s always respectful, even when Novak loses.” The message underscores Alcaraz’s growing influence, as he joined an elite group of men winning a Grand Slam final from match point down, per The Independent.
