Novak Djokovic: The GOAT on and off the Court
Novak Djokovic, the undisputed GOAT of men's tennis, has graced the cover of Vogue Adria's Summer 2024 issue, solidifying his status as a cultural icon beyond the court.
In the aptly titled "The Greatest Of All Time" feature, Djokovic showcases his multifaceted personality through two striking covers. One image captures his serious side, clad in a royal blue Lacoste sweater and trousers, while a vintage racquet adds a touch of nostalgia. The other cover exudes playfulness, with Djokovic sporting a green robe and clutching a landline telephone while cycling. This playful image pays homage to his 2023 US Open semifinal victory over Ben Shelton, where Djokovic's post-match "hang-up" gesture mirrored Shelton's celebration.
During the photoshoot, Djokovic channeled his inner DJ, spinning classic tunes from various eras. The Belgrade native participated in the editorial while recovering from knee surgery, demonstrating his unwavering determination.
Currently competing at Wimbledon, Djokovic is on the cusp of history. Two victories stand between him and an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title. On Friday, he faces first-time Grand Slam semifinalist Lorenzo Musetti, aiming to secure a record-tying eighth Wimbledon trophy.
Djokovic's dominance on the court is matched by his off-court charisma and style. His Vogue Adria cover is a testament to his status as a global icon, transcending the boundaries of sports and fashion.
