Tennis legends Maria Sharapova and Novak Djokovic were recently seen enjoying a leisurely stroll through the picturesque streets of Kotor, Montenegro. Fans of the sport were excited to see these two icons together, savoring the historic beauty and peaceful atmosphere of this coastal gem.
Just a few days ago, Djokovic was spotted relaxing on a yacht with his wife, Jelena, and their two kids, Stefan and Tara. The family seemed to be enjoying the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, with Novak skillfully navigating the yacht while the kids played under Jelena’s watchful eye. Montenegro is a beloved summer destination for Djokovic, where he often spends his vacations exploring its stunning coastline and charming towns.
Sharapova also has a history with Montenegro. In 2015, the former world No. 1 enjoyed a memorable vacation in this Balkan paradise, showcasing her stunning bikini body on King’s Beach in Sveti Stefan.
Kotor, a historic town on Montenegro’s Adriatic coast, is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and breathtaking natural surroundings. The town’s winding streets, ancient walls, and charming squares offer a peek into its rich history, while the backdrop of towering mountains and the tranquil bay creates a picturesque setting.
The friendship between Sharapova and Djokovic dates back to their first meeting at a mixed doubles exhibition match in La Quinta, California. In an Instagram live session four years ago, Sharapova shared a funny story about their dinner date from that time:
“You said if you won, I had to pay for dinner. I thought, ‘Who is this kid.’ And you won, and you said, ‘We’re going to dinner tonight, Japanese place.’ I was like, ‘Are you serious? Dinner with you tonight.’ So we did, we went to dinner. You brought out an old Kodak camera and had the waiter take a photo. And here we are now, you were like a fan that day (laughs).”
UPDATE: The Serbian newspaper Blic published paparazzi photos of Maria Sharapova and her son Theodore at a luxury hotel in Montenegro. (sources: Kurir Sport/Naslovnestrane365)
