Novak Djokovic has addressed the growing speculation about his family’s potential relocation to Greece during his pre-tournament press conference at Wimbledon 2025.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion clarified the rumors surrounding his recent visit to Athens and provided insight into his actual intentions regarding the move.
Novak Djokovic Addresses Rumors of Him and His Family Moving to Greece
During a press conference ahead of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, a reporter asked the Serb about his potential plans to move to Athens.
In response, Djokovic played down the reports and clarified that he and his family were there for a visit, “Not yet, there’s a lot of reports, and I was there with my wife because I haven’t been to Greece in years.”
Djokovic went on to mention that he and his wife Jelena met with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and other acquaintances during their visit. “We met the prime minister, and we met with a few people we know. So it was more of a holiday for us,” Djokovic explained.
The Serbian legend also clarified that their school visit was connected to their foundation work rather than enrollment planning for their children, Stefan and Tara. “We were kind of going around, and the school we visited was related to our foundation.”
While Djokovic denied immediate plans to relocate, he left the door open for future possibilities. “Obviously, there’s a lot of speculation, but no, at the moment, not. But who knows what could happen in the future. Yeah, it could happen,” he told reporters.
A couple of weeks ago, several Greek media outlets extensively reported on Djokovic’s Athens visit, with some suggesting the family was house-hunting in northern suburbs and exploring English-speaking schools for their children.

Reports also claimed that Djokovic’s meeting with Prime Minister Mitsotakis was to discuss potential relocation plans through Greece’s Golden Visa program, which offers residency to wealthy international investors.
Meanwhile, on the court side of things, Novak Djokovic made it to the semifinals of both the Australian Open and the French Open this year, losing to Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner, respectively. With a 21-8 record so far this season, the Serb will look to get over the final hurdle and use his experience to win an eighth title at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Eyeing a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam, the 38-year-old will take on Frenchman Alexandre Müller in the first round of Wimbledon 2025 on Tuesday, July 1.
