Novak Djokovic settles in Athens ahead of ATP 250 campaign

·

Novak Djokovic, 24-time Grand Slam champion, has made Athens his home since September, moving from Serbia with his family.

The Serb will begin his ATP 250 Athens campaign on Tuesday against Alejandro Tabilo, seeking his second title of the season.

Djokovic describes his life in Greece as enriching and grounding, allowing him to slow down and spend more time with his wife and two children.

“In the last two months, we have been testing life in Greece, and the feelings are very positive. We feel welcome, people are very kind, generous and friendly to us,” he said.

The 38-year-old has embraced a calmer routine between training and matches, finding a family-focused environment that has recharged his competitive drive ahead of the season’s final stretch in Athens and Turin.

Despite a lighter schedule, Djokovic remains among the world’s top players, having reached all four Major semi-finals this year and deep runs in Miami and Shanghai.

He will aim for his 101st ATP title in Athens, closing in on Roger Federer’s 103 career titles, while balancing his professional ambitions with his new family life in Greece.
