Novak Djokovic honoured by French fashion brand with unique golden net cape for incredible on-court achievements

Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic received a unique golden net cape for his incredible achievements on the court. The 37-year-old, who is regarded as the greatest player in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles, which is the most by any player.

Djokovic has now received a unique golden net cape from French fashion brand Lacoste to honour his achievements on the court. Starring in ‘Play With Icons’, the former world number one was pictured with a golden net cape. The French fashion brand released a statement highlighting why they decided to give Djokovic such a unique accolade. “The image celebrates both the man and the garment, honouring Djokovic’s undisputed GOAT status while reaffirming the polo’s place in the pantheon of fashion and sport icons,” was the statement of the French brand.

Djokovic is going through a lean patch according to his own high standards. The Belgrade-born star has not won a single ATP or Grand Slam title since the start of 2024. His only achievement in the last 18 months has been winning an Olympic gold medal for his country in Paris, where he defeated Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6.

This year, the former world number one has been featured in seven events, and he only managed to book his place in the quarterfinal or beyond on three occasions. This year, his best outing came at the Miami Open, where he finished as the runner-up after losing to the Czech Republic’s Jakub Mensik in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6. His most recent outing was at the Madrid Open, where he was knocked out after losing in the round of 64 to Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
