World number one
Novak Djokovic will wear a clay camouflage jersey
kit at the
French Open this year.
The 36-year-old is often regarded as the greatest player in
the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24
Grand Slam titles.
As per the latest report, Djokovic is set to wear a clay camouflage
jersey at the Roland Garros this year. The development gathered a lot of
interest on the social media platform where one person wrote: “Bert
should sue”.
The Serbian tennis star won the same jersey in the final of
the mega-event where he defeated Norway’s Casper Ruud in straight sets with a
score of 7–6(7–1), 6–3, 7–5.
Djokovic will be hoping that wearing a similar jersey will
help him clinch an important title, especially after a rather disappointing
outing at the recently concluded Australian Open which is often termed as his
favourite competition.
The Belgrade-born was defeated in the semifinal of the first
Grand Slam of the year to the current world number four Italy’s Jannik Sinner
with a score of 6-1, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3.
Last year’s title in Paris was Djokovic’s third title-winning
campaign at Roland Garros. He also lifted the title in 2016 where he defeated
Britain’s Andy Murray in the final with a score of 3–6, 6–1, 6–2, 6–4.
Five years later, he won the French Open again, this time by
beating Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in a five-set thriller with a score of 6–7(6–8),
2–6, 6–3, 6–2, 6–4.
