Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, has unveiled a new all-black "Legend" racquet designed exclusively for him by Head. The racquet features a glossy black finish with flatter black detailing, paying homage to Djokovic's legendary status in tennis.
Djokovic has been instrumental in developing the Speed line of racquets since becoming a Head ambassador in 2008. The Speed Legend is a testament to his close collaboration with Max Bauer, Head's global product manager of performance racquets.
"It is always special to create such a special racquet and this one specifically stands out because it combines many features that Novak loves," Bauer said. "The naming of the racquet also celebrates Novak's unique status in the tennis world."
Djokovic's preference for stylish yet understated drama is evident in his new racquet. It complements his growing collection of all-black accessories, including the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang All Black Pavé watch he wore at the Laureus World Sports Awards.
The Head Speed Legend is set for release on May 23 and will be Djokovic's racquet of choice until the end of his career. Tennis fans can catch a glimpse of the racquet in action at the Geneva Open, where Djokovic has received a last-minute wild card ahead of Roland Garros.
