Novak Djokovic engaged to longtime girlfriend Jelena Ristic

Serbian media reports say world No. 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic proposed to his longtime girlfriend Jelena Ristic over the weekend in Monte Carlo.
Djokovic and Ristic have been together for eight years. She’s been a constant fixture in his player’s box during his rise from talented, but immature, youngster to the top of the tennis world. She’s known for her demonstrative presence while watching Djokovic play — a far cry from the stoicism of a Mirka Federer or relative calmness of Andy Murray’s significant other, Kim Sears.

National media outlets have jumped the gun before on news of a Djokovic-Ristic engagement — they’re like the Will and Kate of Serbia — but it’s been pointed out that the author of one of the articles, Nebojša Mandrapa, is part of Djokovic’s public relations team. (A suggestion in another publication that Andy Murray has been considered as best man is the more likely exaggeration.)
The couple expects to get married sometime in 2014, according to the reports.
