Novak bats gossip away

NOVAK Djokovic has declared his love for his ‘soulmate’ wife on their wedding anniversary – after rumours suggesting their relationship is in trouble.

The world number four, 30, wed Jelena, 31, in 2014 but the pair have been dogged by claims of marital difficulties.

Djokovic, who won a quarter-final spot yesterday, captioned an Instagram snap, above: ‘Happy anniversary my soulmate! I’m so grateful to have you in my Life... Thank you for being dedicated and loving mother, big support and backbone to all of us close to you. Love you with all my heart and soul.’
