Many sports fans only know Novak Djokovic as a stone-cold tennis player. But like every athlete, he has a life outside of his profession. For Djokovic, family is always the most important component of his life.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion is currently competing in Wimbledon, but he took time out of his busy schedule to write a poem for his wife, Jelena.

Earlier this week, the couple celebrated ten years of marriage. Below is Djokovic's poem and Instagram post, which contained a lovely video of the couple.

"Ten years of joy,
Ten years of dreams,
Ten years as islands,
Ten years as streams.

Ten years as parents,
Ten years as one,
Ten years of dancing,
Ten years of fun.

Ten years of yoga,
Ten years we stretch,
Ten years of dogs,
Ten years go fetch.

Ten years of flying,
Ten years at sea,
Ten years of you,
The best part of me.

Ten years of tennis,
Ten years of balls,
Ten years of triumph,
Ten years of falls.

Ten years as teammates,
Ten years together,
Ten years Jelena,
I love you forever.

I love you."

Novak Djokovic has advanced to the Wimbledon semifinals without ever playing the quarterfinals. Alex De Minaur withdrew just hours before their match due to a hip injury.

Djokovic is just two wins away from tying Roger Federer's record of eight Wimbledon titles. The 37-year-old will face Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals on Friday, July 12. Tennis fans can follow Sports Illustrated's Serve on SI for all the most important news from the sport.
