The big news that changes Olga Danilovic's life before her return to tennis
New joy in the world of sports. Olga Danilovic and Jan Oblak have become parents for the first time after the birth of their son, a boy they have named Maksim. The Serbian tennis player and the Slovenian goalkeeper for Atlético de Madrid are starting a new personal chapter after more than three years of relationship and an engagement announced last summer.

The news was reported on Tuesday by several Serbian media outlets, who confirmed the arrival of the couple's first child. Both athletes have always maintained a fairly discreet relationship, although their story began to become public in 2023, when Oblak was seen accompanying Danilovic during Roland Garros. Since then, they have shared some moments of their life together, until announcing their engagement in June 2026.
Danilovic becomes a mother before returning to the courts
Maternity arrives at a pause in Danilovic's sports career. The 25-year-old Serbian has not competed since February 2026, when she participated in the Cluj-Napoca tournament. Her pregnancy has kept her away from the circuit for much of the season, also causing a significant drop in the world rankings.
The tennis player will benefit from the protected ranking system that the WTA has for players who interrupt their careers due to pregnancy. This regulation allows using a reference ranking to enter a maximum of 12 tournaments within three years after the birth.
So far, there is no confirmed date for her return to the courts. In the meantime, Danilovic and Oblak are enjoying one of the most important news of their lives. Tennis and football are now taking a back seat for a couple that has just added Maksim to their team.
