WATCH: Novak Djokovic becomes autograph hunter on behalf of his kids, gets Venus Williams’ signature
He is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, but Novak Djokovic had no problem asking fellow tennis icon Venus Williams for her autograph on behalf of his children.
Six-time Wimbledon Djokovic stepped up his daddy duties at Wimbledon on Tuesday as he got former world No 1 Williams to sign his daughter Tara and son Stefan’s autograph books.
Of course the Djokovic family – including mother Jelena – got to take a picture with the American legend.

Djokovic had Tuesday off as his second-round match is scheduled for Wednesday while Williams was at the All England Club to watch her sister Serena make her singles comeback against Harmony Tan. Serena lost in three sets.
But Venus had a busy day in terms of autographs as she also made a young fan’s day.
