In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, the Serbian phenom revealed that his son Stefan has taken a liking towards <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/tennis\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>tennis<\/a>. But if the two were to compete in a dream professional encounter on tour, Djokovic is not going to go easy on his young prince.<\/p><p>The quest for a record-shattering 25th major championship currently remains high on Djokovic&rsquo;s priority list. In 2025, he reached the semifinals of all the Grand Slams, and won two titles in Geneva and Athens. Along with this, the 38-year-old was also the runner-up at the Miami Masters. While there is no doubting the fact that <em>Nole <\/em>is nearing the final stretch of an illustrious career, another member of the Djokovic family might be emerging on the circuit sooner than one expects.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Novak Djokovic with Stefan after winning the Athens title<br><br>Super dad &#129401; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DTiycGo75D\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/DTiycGo75D<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheTennisLetter\/status\/1987229504834838977?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Novak Djokovic Previews Potential Match-Up With Son Stefan<\/h2><p>Stefan Djokovic is a household name due to his appearances on TV screens whenever his father is in action.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport. And if you\u2019re a fan of Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and\/or Stephen Curry - I\u2019m your guy. \u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sankalphk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sankalp-hk-660254215"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sankalp\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641975"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=641975"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":641980,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641975\/revisions\/641980"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/641978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
