Novak Djokovic has depicted his intention to compete for Serbia in the Davis Cup despite relocating his home base to Athens, Greece. Viktor Troicki has revealed that Djokovic still has the passion to represent Serbia in the premier international team event.
24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic relocated to Athens from Marabella with his family in late 2025 and has been living a peaceful life in Greece.
The Serb obtained Greece's Golden Visa, a move partly linked to Serbia’s rising political tensions and his desire to provide a better environment for his family. Djokovic now lives in a luxury villa with his family in the coastal region of Glyfada.
