How Novak Djokovic's son won hearts at Wimbledon: The best pictures of Stefan from the 2022 edition of the Championships

Along with Novak Djokovic's often unplayable brand of tennis during the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, the moments with his son Stefan were among the highlights of his campaign at SW19. The seven-year-old was present with his father throughout the fortnight and played quite a bit of tennis himself.

Novak Djokovic often extended his practice sessions after the normal routine to spend some time with his son and teach him the tricks of the trade.

Stefan was also a regular attendee in the player's box during the Serbian great's matches on Centre Court, cheering on his dad.

The two Djokovics were often seen sharing laughs and fun moments on the court during their practice sessions.

Stefan looked like he was having the time of his life, getting to hit some balls himself and watching his father play some great tennis at the iconic grounds of Wimbledon. During the first week, Stefan also had a special moment where he got an autograph from Venus Williams.

An excited Djokovic took his kids Stefan and Tara to meet Williams, who signed the autograph books they were carrying.

While the 21-time Grand Slam champion's wife, daughter and parents were on Centre Court to celebrate his Wimbledon title victory against Nick Kyrgios, Stefan missed the occasion. Djokovic said during his victory speech that Stefan was playing tennis with doubles legend Bob Bryan's son on one of the practice courts.

However, the seven-year-old was part of the celebrations on Monday, and was seen running around Centre Court with his dad and sister.

In one of his interviews during the tournament, Novak Djokovic spoke about Stefan's growing interest in tennis. The Serb even mentioned that his son often plays a Rafael Nadal-esque forehand.

Djokovic has also seemingly been trying to teach Stefan his own technique of playing the forehand.

Stefan's celebrations, however, bear a striking resemblance to those of his dad's.

Novak Djokovic sounded like a proud father while talking about Stefan after his Wimbledon victory. The Serb claimed he was absolutely fine with his son choosing to play tennis rather than watch his final on Sunday, expressing his happiness at Stefan's interest in tennis.

"He is fully focussed on his own tennis," the seven-time Wimbledon champion said. "He is asking questions every time every day - strings, head size, grip..why is this, why is that. He has got millions of questions. He's so curious. It's lovely. It makes my heart full."

"I love the fact that he chose to play tennis instead of watching me win," he added. "Of course, I always love to have him here, have experienced that a few times last year. I just love that he doesn't mind not having attention, or he doesn't mind the attention as well."

Earlier this season, Stefan was involved in another tennis match of his own while his father was playing the Italian Open final against Stefanos Tsitsipas. During his victory speech then, the Serb revealed that his son was on the court in his first ever tennis tournament, before confirming that Stefan indeed won his match around the same time that he won the Italian Open.
