Novak Djokovic posted photos with a new bearded look upon his arrival at the Cincinnati Open.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion arrived in the United States after a two-year absence due to pandemic-related restrictions. After opting out of the Canadian Open due to accumulated fatigue, Djokovic arrived in Cincinnati to kick off the US Open Series.
Upon his arrival in North America, 'Nole' shared photos that caught the attention of fans due to his new beard. On social media, Djokovic's photo garnered numerous comments from tennis fans.
“Loading...new mythical tennis player: bearded Djokovic,”
“Gotta keep that beard. Super intimidating,”
“The new tennis crush i didn’t know I needed in my life : Bearded Djoko”
The official account of the Cincinnati Open Masters 1000 also shared images of Djokovic training, where his beard is also visible, and fans shared their impressions.
“Bearded Novak gonna be scar,”
“Goatovic beardovic 🐐”
"Novak with moustache & beard. It’s not that he’s disguising himself, look at his cap & T shirt (crocodile emoji). Having a rest from shaving? My husband says it’s a pain."
Djokovic will return to the court on Wednesday in his first match since his loss in the Wimbledon final to Carlos Alcaraz. Djokovic will receive a bye in the first round and will make his debut in the second round against the winner of the match between Spanish player Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Argentine player Tomas Etcheverry.
The Serbian player won the Cincinnati title in 2018 and 2020 and has reached five finals (08’, 09’, 11’, 12’, 15’).
Additionally, Novak Djokovic's entry into the main draw of doubles in Cincinnati was a surprise. The World No. 2 will team up with his compatriot Nikola Cacic and they will make their debut against the doubles pair of Jaime Murray and Michael Venus.
