Најбољи тенисер света Новак Ђоковић био је домаћин
хуманитарне вечере у Лондону, са које су прикупљена средства намењена помоћи
програмима раног развоја деце у Србији.
Добротворној вечери присуствовале су бројне познате званице,
међу којима и глумац Џералд Батлер, који је само дан раније здушно бодрио
земљака Ендија Мареја у финалу Вимблдона против српског тенисера.
Фондација Новак Ђоковић организовала је хуманитарно вече у
Лондону са циљем да повећа свест о проблемима раног развоја деце у Србији и да
обезбеди новац како би се још више инвестирало у неопходне пројекте, као и
изградњу објеката Школица живота.
Ђоковић ће након пораза у финалу Вимблдона направити паузу
од непуних месец дана како би се потпуно одморио и припремио за летњу серију
турнира на америчком бетону (Монтреал, Синсинати и УС Опен).

He's still her number
one! Novak Djokovic casts aside his Wimbledon
defeat as he and model girlfriend Jelena Ristic host a star-studded charity
gala dinner
He suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Andy Murray in
the Wimbledon men's final on Sunday afternoon.
But Novak Djokovic seemed to have put his loss behind him as
he hosted a star-studded gala dinner in aid of his Novak Djokovic Foundation on
Monday night.
And the 26-year-old tennis star's stunning girlfriend Jelena
Ristic proved he is still very much her champion as she proudly posed alongside
her man on the green carpet at London 's
Roundhouse venue.
Still her champion: Novak Djokovic seemed to have put his Wimbledon loss behind him as he hosted a star-studded
gala dinner in aid of the Novak Djokovic Foundation on Monday night alongside
his stunning girlfriend Jelena Ristic
The Serbian sportsman looked every inch the dapper gentleman
as he arrived at the gala dinner, wearing an immaculately tailored black suit,
which he teamed with a crisp white shirt and bow-tie.

But Jelena was the one who truly commanded attention on the
green carpet, opting for an eye-catching navy and white strapless gown,
featuring a nipped-in waist and full skirt.
The swimwear model wore her honey blonde locks swept up off
her shoulders into a stylish up-do, and accessorised with glittering diamond
drop earrings and a navy clutch bag.
Looking ace! While her boyfriend was the real star of the
evening, the swimwear model was the one who turned heads on the green carpet
Proving she is every inch the doting girlfriend, Jelena
worked the star-studded crowd like a true professional, chatting to stars from
the worlds of showbiz and sport with ease.
And the event certainly pulled in a stellar crowd, with the
likes of Hollywood actress Kate Hudson,
supermodel Naomi Campbell, actor Gerard Butler and retired tennis champion
Boris Becker turning out to do their bit for the charity.
The inaugural foundation dinner was even given the royal
seal of approval with Sarah Ferguson and her daughters Princess Beatrice and
Princess Eugenie also putting in an appearance.
In spite of her cool, calm and collected appearance, Jelena,
27, recently admitted being the long-term girlfriend of the world's number one
tennis player is by no means an easy task.
Speaking last week, she told the Mail: 'You can get very
passionate when watching your boyfriend from the players’ box. We just want
them to be happy. You don’t want to see them in pain. If they are not happy,
neither are you.
‘But I have to be careful as I don’t want to get too
emotional and distract Novak. It’s about what the guys want.
'We don’t want them to see us get emotional. When I’m at
home watching him on the TV, I get even more passionate because I know the
cameras aren’t on me.
‘My job is to keep Novak clam and relaxed before his
matches. We are emotional partners. The emotional support we give to each other
is very important. It’s the same for me as well. He is very supportive and
encouraging of the work that I do.’
The Novak Djokovic Foundation is raising funds in the hope
that every child in Serbia ,
the tennis star's native country, can have the necessary education and
resources to lead productive and healthy lives.
Djokovic said prior to hosting the gala: 'I’m really looking
forward to hosting my first fundraising event in the UK .
'The Foundation’s vision is to raise awareness of
disadvantaged young people in Serbia
and around the world, especially those who’ve had fewer opportunities to reach
their full potential.
'With the help of my friends, family and supporters, I hope
we can raise the much needed funds required to make a difference to the lives
of these young children.’
