Djokovic looking forward to becoming a dad for first time

Novak Djokovic has had so-so results in the run-up to the US Open, but the world No 1 is not concerned. In fact, he is riding high as a newly-wed and a soon-to-be father.

The 27-year-old Serb tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart, Jelena Ristic, four days after winning the Wimbledon trophy last month and, with fatherhood looming, he knows his life will be forever changed.

"Without a doubt, life changes. You know, priorities change," Djokovic said on Saturday ahead of Monday's start of the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the season.
