Jelena Djokovic, wife of tennis legend Novak Djokovic, sent a rare one-word message, **“Bravo,”** to Carlos Alcaraz via Instagram Stories on June 8, 2025, following his stunning **4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2)** victory over Jannik Sinner in the **French Open 2025 men’s final** (per *Sportskeeda.com*).
Typically reserved about other players’ wins, Jelena’s reaction highlighted the emotional impact of Alcaraz’s comeback from **two sets down** and saving **three championship points** in a **five-hour, 29-minute epic**—the longest Roland Garros final ever (per *The Athletic*).
Alcaraz, 22, defended his title with what **Andre Agassi** called superior defensive speed, feel, and RPMs compared to Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer (per *Sportskeeda.com*). Jelena’s post came hours after Alcaraz shared his victory on Instagram, captioned, **“Another dream achieved! Thank you, Paris!”** (per *Tennis.com*).
Unlike Novak, who left Paris without commenting after his semi-final loss to Sinner (**6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3)**), Jelena’s gesture echoed the sportsmanship of **Rafael Nadal** and **Roger Federer**, who also congratulated Alcaraz, with Nadal posting, **“Congratulations @carlosalcaraz!”** on X (per *The Mirror*).
Fans on X, like **@TennisFanatic**, praised Jelena’s class, noting, **“She’s always respectful, even when Novak loses.”** The message underscores Alcaraz’s growing influence, as he joined an elite group of men winning a Grand Slam final from match point down (per *The Independent*).
