BELGRADE, Serbia — The grandfather of Jelena Djokovic, the wife of Novak Djokovic, has been found tied up in a field after unknown assailants broke into his house in central Serbia.
Djokovic’s press team said in a statement Thursday that the family is in “complete shock over what happened” to 85-year-old Miloslav Radisavljevic.
They say attackers broke into Radisavljevic’s house, kidnapped him and took him to a field several miles away.
Police said, without identifying Radisavljevic, that they found a man early Thursday tied to a power pole close to his house in Ljig, some 50 kilometers south of Belgrade.
The man told the police he was robbed by two masked assailants of about 220 euros ($260) and a cellphone. Police said the man had no visible injuries.
