Novak Djokovic's girlfriend, Jelena Ristic, helped him overcome his defeat trauma by helping him organizing a star-studded bash for his charity in London.

Former swimwear model Ristic, 27, and Djokovic, 26, hosted a gala dinner on behalf of the Novak Djokovic Foundation at the Roundhouse in Camden, London, the Daily Express reported.

They raised 1.1million pounds to support disadvantaged children in their native Serbia with help from a host of celebrity guests including Naomi Campell, Goldie Hawn and Ronnie Wood.

Djokovic told the publication that the event helped him put his defeat by Andy Murray in the men's final on Sunday behind him.
