His two younger brothers, Marko and Djordje, are also tennis players with professional aspirations.〔 Residing in Monte Carlo, Djokovic was coached by former Slovak tennis player Marián Vajda from 2006 until Boris Becker took over the role of Head Coach in December 2013. Similar to Roger Federer, Djokovic is a self-described fan of languages, speaking Serbian, English, French, German and Italian.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Hot Shot: Novak Djokovic – ''Vogue'' )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Novak Djokovic Interview )〕 He met his future wife, Jelena Ristić, in high school, and began dating her in 2005. The two became engaged in September 2013〔("Novak Djokovic engaged to long time girlfriend" )〕 and on 10 July 2014 the couple got married on Sveti Stefan in Montenegro, while a church wedding was held in the same place, on 12 July 2014, in the Church of Saint Stephen ((セルビア語:Црква Светог Архиђакона Стефана)) which belongs to Praskvica Monastery. On 24 April 2014, Djokovic announced that he and Ristić were expecting their first child. His son Stefan was born in October 2014. Djokovic began playing tennis at the age of four. In the summer of 1993, the six-year-old was spotted by Yugoslav tennis player Jelena Genčić at Mount Kopaonik, where Djokovic's parents ran a fast-food parlour. Upon seeing Djokovic play tennis, she stated: "This is the greatest talent I have seen since Monika Seleš."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Novak Djokovic's Official Website )〕 Genčić worked with young Djokovic over the following six years before realizing that, due to his rapid development, going abroad in search of increased level of competition was the best option for his future. To that end, she contacted Nikola Pilić and in September 1999 the 12-year-old moved to the Pilić tennis academy in Oberschleißheim, Germany, spending four years there.〔(Djokovic Is on the Rise, Just as He Expects to Be );''The New York Times'', 26 May 2007〕 At the age of 14, he began his international career, winning European championships in singles, doubles, and team competition.〔 Djokovic is known for his often humorous off-court impersonations of his fellow players, many of whom are his friends.〔 This became evident to the tennis world after his 2007 US Open quarterfinal win over Carlos Moyá, where he entertained the audience with impersonations of Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova. His impersonations have also become very popular on YouTube. Djokovic also did an impression of John McEnroe after his fourth round match victory at the 2009 US Open, before playing a brief game with McEnroe, much to the delight of the audience.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Novak Djokovic and John McEnroe having a hit )〕 Novak Djokovic is a member of the "Champions for Peace" club, a group of famous elite athletes committed to serving peace in the world through sport, created by Peace and Sport, a Monaco-based international organization. Djokovic adheres to Eastern Orthodoxy in the Serbian Orthodox Church. On 28 April 2011, Patriarch Irinej of Serbia awarded Djokovic the Order of St. Sava I class, the highest decoration of the Serbian Orthodox Church, because he demonstrated love for the church, and because he provided assistance to the Serbian people, churches and monasteries of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo.〔(Novak Djokovic awarded with the highest distinction of the Serbian Church |Serbian Orthodox Church Official web site ), Spc.rs (28 April 2011). Retrieved 10 May 2011.〕 Djokovic is a keen fan of Serbian football club Red Star Belgrade,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tennis stars' favourite football teams )〕 Italian club A.C. Milan and Portuguese club S.L. Benfica.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Have a Nice Day, Nole! )〕 He is good friends with fellow Serbian tennis player Ana Ivanovic, whom he has known since the two were children growing up in Serbia, through Djokovic's uncle and Ivanovic's father. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Novak Djokovic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
