Watch: Novak Djokovic shouts out young son after Wimbledon win
Novak Djokovic’s 13th major title was just a little more special for a very good reason.
Djokovic won his first major title in two years by beating Kevin Anderson in straight sets at Wimbledon on Sunday, and it also happened to be the first one that his oldest son Stefan has been old enough to at least comprehend.
Djokovic was quick to point out his three-year-old son in his post-match interview, as the youngster could only witness the trophy presentation due to the fact that Wimbledon doesn’t allow children under five to attend matches at Centre Court.
"For the first time in my life, I have someone screaming daddy, daddy!"

This will have been a particularly meaningful win for Djokovic. Beyond having his son there, it also capped a comeback from elbow issues that plagued him and threatened to permanently derail his career.
