Speaking to Serbian website, Vesti Online, Jelena, who is married to the 17-time Grand Slam champion since 2014, said: "When you are young, the spotlight and attention certainly feel comfortable. At first, the experience does not alarm you because it can bring you some difficulties. We look at public figures and think that kind of publicity is okay."
