Before every tournament, there is one thing or another that brings Novak Djokovic to the spotlight. Be it his decisions, his predictions regarding how he will perform on the court, or the infamous outfits that he chooses for every prominent tournament. Now that the clay season is ready to begin, including the French Open, his outfit for the time being is out.

But as soon as the new outfit for the 36-year-old tennis star was made public, it grabbed a lot of attention in the tennis world. In addition, tennis fans also angrily reacted at Lacoste’s for their lack of creativity over Djokovic’s clay court outfits.

Novak Djokovic’s clay court outfit upsets tennis fans 

Since winning last year’s French Open, the 36-year-old Serbian tennis player played his first clay court tournament and reached the third round of the Monte Carlo Masters 2023. Looking into his outfit for the event, a popular tennis fan on Twitter highlighted how the clothing brand, Lacoste, which actually works on his outfits for every season, somewhere down the line, recycled the same red outfit from the last clay season.

Looking into the red outfit, tennis fans flooded the comment section with their angry reactions regarding how the world number one, or even though the clothing brand didn’t put much effort into choosing the best outfit. A fan joke about how the 24-time Grand Slam champion might not have even watched that one shirt that he was wearing last year.

On the other hand, another one highlighted whether the Serbian tennis players specifically asked the clothing brand to create a red outfit because of some ritual or belief related to his victory.

Moreover, a fan came into defense and questioned how the golfing legend, Tiger Woods, has also won the same shirt and every Masters event nearly for the past 30 years.

In addition, a fan lashed out at Lacoste over the creative idea, but he then himself explained that it might be part of a good luck charm for the player.

Lastly, another one tagged how Djokovic’s branding is quite depressing.

However, there are other things that the 24-time Grand Slam champion is currently focusing on rather than his outfit for the season. One of them is getting ready to play against Lorenzo Musetti in the third round of the Monte-Carlo event. Recently, he opened up about his confidence in being ready to face Musetti, brushing off the 2023 loss.

In a post-match press conference after the second round, the world number one ranked tennis player was asked about whether he was scared of facing the Italian tennis player, especially after struggling against Italians the past few months.

He stated, “I’m not scared of anything and anybody, but I really hope that I can get the chance to play him again and get another matchup here.” Not only that, he also praised the talented Italian, highlighting how he has one of the most amazing one-handed backhands and even talked about his impressive athleticism, as a tennis player.
