[Insert corny joke about how "love" is also a tennis term here.]
Novak Djokovic has found a nice way to rebound from losing the US Open final.
The No. 1-ranked tennis player and six-time major champion is engaged to longtime girlfriend Jelena Ristic, he announced Wedneday on his Twitter account.
Meet my fiancé and future wife :) So happy! Thank you for wonderful wishes #NoleFam and friends! http://t.co/jEfo5fLu8i

This is the 26-year-old Serb's 100th week at No. 1 in the ATP rankings.
He won the Australian Open in January, then was the runner-up at Wimbledon in July, and at the US Open this month, losing to Rafael Nadal in the final.
Ristic has been a staple at Djokovic's matches over the years and also heads up his charity, the Novak Djokovic Foundation. The couple have been dating for eight years.
And finally, here is an impossibly cute photo of them spooning a dolphin:
