A disgusting attack on Novak and Jelena Djoković: Shameful text of the British tabloid!

The best Serbian tennis player Novak Djoković and his wife Jelena found themselves under serious attack from the British tabloid "Daily Mail".

Namely, the British journalist Harriet Johnston wrote an embarrassing text with the long title "So, is Novak more controversial than Nick? Tennis star who's denounced Covid vaccines insists positive thoughts can purify water - while his wacky wife Jelena believes 5G caused the pandemic", which clearly shows that there is a large portion of insults within it.

In the first half of the introductory sentence of the text, Harriet praised Novak, and then immediately started with insults and jabs.

- Novak Djokovic's status as one of this century's greatest athletes is undisputed – although his beliefs as to how he got there, may prompt a little more questioning. The fanatical quest to continually improve himself as a tennis player is mirrored by an obsessive curiosity about how best to curate his physical and mental well-being. At times it has dragged him into the realms of faddism and quackery, sometimes dangerously so. However Novak hasn't been without controversy himself - famously denouncing vaccinations, arguing that 'Bosnian pyramids' near Sarajevo give off a mystical energy, and positive thoughts can purify water - Johnston writes.

Then she hit Jelena even harder.

- And just like her husband, Jelena, 35, has a series of unusual beliefs - and is no stranger to controversy after she shared conspiracy theories online with her thousands of Instagram followers. In April 2020, Instagram posted a 'false information' tag on her stories after she shared a conspiracy video about 5G causing coronavirus. The mother-of-two, who met her husband when they were teenagers, describes herself as 'open-minded' with a 'never satiating hunger for knowledge' on her blog.   

- Novak's very wacky wife was a successful model, starring in several high profile campaigns. But Jelena is just as much brains as beauty - she graduated from university in Milan with a Masters degree. The childhood sweethearts married in July 2014 in the grounds of Montenegro's exclusive Aman Sveti Stefan resort. Jelena was pregnant at the time. Jelena is now working the director's of the Novak Foundation, which invests in pre-school education in Serbia. Jelena helps to run the Novak Djokovic Foundation, which raises money for childhood education and inclusive early education programmes for children disadvantaged communities. She's also often spotted courtside, and struggles to keep a poker face. She regularly appear on the brink of tears or reacts angrily to the decisions made by the umpire. Jelena once said of her inability to control her emotions during competitions: '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' - Harriet concluded.

Also, she didn't miss the opportunity to tease Djoković about the organisation of the Adria Tour in 2020, his gluten allergy, which he says he "self-diagnosed by putting a slice of bread on his bare stomach", hitting the line judge and his disqualification from the US Open, as well as the recent ingestion of isotonic powder from a bottle.
