See Novak Djokovic's Rare Photos with His Lookalike Kids Stefan and Tara as the Tennis Legend Turns 39

Novak Djokovic's kids take after him in many ways.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion, who celebrates his 39th birthday on May 22, 2026, has been on the pro tour since he was 15. Over the years, the world has watched him grow up, marry his wife Jelena in 2014 and welcome his two children, Stefan and Tara.

Although Djokovic and his wife make an effort to keep their kids' childhood private, Stefan and Tara can often be seen cheering for their dad in the stands. (Occasionally, Stefan even joins his dad on the court!)

As the all-time great turns 39 right before the 2026 French Open, see his rare photos with Stefan and Tara over the years.
