SMITTEN tennis ace Damir Dzumhur was inspired to his historic St Petersburg Open win by his model girlfriend.
Dzumhur, 25, and Serbian stunner Dejana Zivkovic, 24, have only been together for four months but she has already seen him achieve new heights.
His victory in Russia’s second city at the weekend made him the first ever Bosnian to win an ATP World Tour title.
It also propelled him to No40 in the world – the highest ever for a player from his country.
Zivkovic has become Dzumhur’s biggest supporter since they got together and was in Russia to cheer him on, as she has done in almost all of his matches.
Dzumhur said of his new love: “We are trying to enjoy every moment that we spend together, wherever we are.
“We try to get more time and be closer to each other. Whenever she can, she travels with me and watches my games, which I appreciate very much.”
And he admitted: “She enchanted me with her beauty and her style. She is unique and honest in everything.”

Zivkovic regularly shares saucy bikini photos with her 116,000 followers on social media.
But she also posts many pictures of her with Dzumhur, showing her love for the tennis player.
She shot to fame in 2011 when she was a contestant on reality TV show, the First Serbian Top Model, when the then-teenager was thrown off the show for her irritating behaviour.
But she went on to carve out a career as a fashion model gracing magazine covers and catwalks around the world.
Zivkovic was previously in relationships with Serbian keeper Vladimir Stojkovic and handball player Vlada Mandic.
