Novak Djokovic Relocates to Athens Following Tensions With Serbian Government

Pro-government attacks over his support for student protests pushed the tennis star to shift his home base.

Overview

  • Djokovic has settled with his family in Glyfada, enrolled his two children in a private school, and was seen shopping and training at local clubs.
  • The Belgrade ATP 250 he controls will be staged in Athens at OAKA from November 2 to 8, and he has indicated he plans to play the event.
  • Local reports say he is pursuing a Greek golden visa residency through investment, reflecting a longer-term move.
  • The relocation follows months of pressure after pro-government media labeled him a “traitor” for backing student-led demonstrations sparked by a Novi Sad station collapse that killed 16 people.
  • Separately, Djokovic joined an investor group taking a stake in France’s Le Mans FC alongside Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen through the OutField fund.
