Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams 2016 in Australia

Novak Djokovic did not take much time to celebrate his 19th Grand Slam title. After the success against Stefanos Tsitsipas last Sunday in Roland Garros, the world number one quickly made his way to Mallorca to prepare for Wimbledon. Djokovic will not lack competent playmates, Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev have also named for the ATP Tour 250 tournament at the Mallorca Country Club. But Nole still likes to take time for the family: A few balls with son Stefan are always in there.

How strict father Djokovic is with the NextNextGen as a trainer can of course only be guessed at. In any case, Stefan's swing is somewhat reminiscent of Papa Novak's greatest rival: Rafael Nadal. Meanwhile, Serena Williams also cared for young talent in the academy of her coach Patrick Mouratoglou. Daughter Olympia's progress is highlighted in a three-part Instagram series. Conclusion: things are progressing.
