PHOTO OP: Jelena in Shanghai stands, watches Nole win Masters Cup


Jelena Ristic was in the stands this weekend to watch boyfriend Novak Djokovic win his first Masters Cup title in Shanghai.

It seems they're still going strong even after all the rumors and speculation about Nole and his love life this year. Let's hope he keeps those to a minimum next season for her sake, though it doesn't do me any good.

What would I write about then? Oh well.

johanne said...

Damn she's hot! Well done, Nole!

Cristina said...

She a little cutie!

rafabot said...

Wow, she's pretty. But I mostly like how she looks as if she's really into watching Nole's match. It's kind of refreshing.

"love her sweater - wonder who makes it?!"

- it looks really warm and comfortable. i've seen pringle make sweaters similar to that one.

she's very pretty - he better be good next year!

johanne said...

Hey Rich what were the rumors? I guess I missed that...

Rich said...

johanne: where do we start? the first half of the year was dominated by rumors about nole + shrieka especially during march madness (indian wells, miami).

then, he supposedly hooked up with paraguayan javelin-ist leryn franco during the olympics.

he's been with jelena for a long time, even before he became a top baller, but he's definitely a playboy. where there's smoke, there's FIRE!

Cristina said...

Arent all athletes players? (no pun intended)

Rich said...

cristina: certainly they have every opportunity to be one with adoring fans all over the world clamoring to get a piece.

there are some like fed + rafa who are most likely faithful. besides, i've never heard rumors about those two and they've been in the spotlight longer than nole.

i swear nole's a man-whore.

johanne said...

Well that explains it! I didn't discover your wonderful blog until recently, and apparently I didn't have a good source for juicy tennis gossip...wah waaaah.

Thanks for the recap and keep up the good work! :D

Rich said...

johanne: hehe - thanks! the off-season is actually a good time for gossipy stuff too. good times!

johanne said...

P.S. There were a few (relatively harmless) rumors this year about Rafa and Ana Ivanovic and then Rafa and that up-and-coming Dane, Caroline Wozniacki (can't remember if that was a rumor from this year as well)... Anyways, Rafa and Caroline both denied it and said they were just good friends. Although I got the feeling that she would be down for it, I mean, if Rafa wasn't attached. Who wouldn't be though? Sigh...

Rich said...

yeah i def heard about those items but he's been with xisca for a while and i never believed those rumors.

with nole, he was seen spending time with shrieka + leryn and photographed and filmed with them. he was even filmed sneaking into shrieka's suv after they left (separately) from the baller party in miami this year. why the need to sneak around if nothing's going on?

johanne said...

Yeah, nothing against Nole, but I could def see him workin' the ladies. He seems like more of a party animal than any of the other top ballers. But let's not forget, he's only 21! Not that that excuses being shady with your lady, but sometimes I forgot how young all these players are. Even the "old" ones like Davy and Fed and A-Rod. They're still young!

Rich said...

seriously, at that age and traveling most of the year with no time to spend with your bf/gf why would you want to be in a serious relationship?

when i was 21 i was broke and the only traveling i did was to and from my college classes and the subway (oh and late night runs for pizza.) i still didn't want to have a serious relationship.

sonja said...

Wow, she looks really stunning there. Love her outfit as well.

I gotta agree with you guys, I could also totally see Nole fooling around with other girls on the tour... he seems like such a skirt chaser to me, haha!

But then, cheating on that lady would be totally stupid - she's extremely beautiful and also seems to be really sweet, cheering him on like that and stuff.
However, it is right though that Nole is still very young and this probably wasn't his last girlfriend...

BTW Rich your little anecdote about your "salad days" was really cute. ;)

Rich said...

sonja: or my "pizza day" as it were - thanks!

she is really beautiful. maybe they have a "don't ask, don't tell" agreement. you never know what goes on behind closed doors!

wow, she's gorgeous. definitely prettier than shrieka. and it's nice to see tennis players significant others excited (ahem mirka)
