Jelena Ristic
Jelena Ristic is the girlfriend of Novak Djokovic and they've been together since about 2005. They've been through the tennis star's biggest ups and downs and today they must be celebrating an epic win at the Australian Open! The match was the longest Grand Slam singles final in the history of the sport and Djokovic ended up winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-5 after 5 hours, 53 minutes. This became his third Grand Slam title in a row, and the sweet victory came at at 1:37 a.m. local time! He's only the fifth guy in Grand Slam history to win three titles in a row. After a long nap, we imagine he and Ristic will have some celebrating to do! Nadal has lost seven straight finals against the Serbian star since March. He also lost to Djokovic at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open last year. It's got to be a disappointing loss, but the match will go down in history and Nadal is still one of the top players in the world.
