What Gear Does Novak Djokovic Actually Play With?

Novak Djokovic has built the most decorated resume in men's tennis history, and his gear setup has stayed remarkably consistent through nearly two decades at the top. Here's a full breakdown of his racquet, shoe, apparel, and string setup, along with a look at what makes his game last.

The Legacy: Two Decades at the Top

Djokovic holds the men's record for Grand Slam singles titles with 24, including a record 10 Australian Open championships, and he completed the career Grand Slam in 2016. He has spent more weeks at world No. 1 than any player in history, a mark of consistency that spans multiple generations of opponents.

His flexibility and defensive skills help him retrieve balls other players cannot reach, and he turns that defense into offense as well as anyone ever has.

Now in his late 30s, Djokovic remains a threat at every Grand Slam he enters, a testament to a training and equipment setup built for longevity as much as raw firepower.

The Racquet: Head Speed Pro Legend

Djokovic endorses the Head Speed Pro Legend 2025 Tennis Racquet. His actual on-court frame is finely tuned and customized for his specific needs, but the retail Speed Pro Legend delivers pinpoint accuracy thanks to the low flex, dense string pattern, and stable response.

Shoes: Asics Court FF 3

On his feet, the shoe Djokovic endorses is the Asics Court FF 3. His match shoe is a player-edition build, so it is not identical to the retail version, but the retail Court FF 3 carries the same stability-focused platform built for his sliding, defensive movement on hard courts, with the cushioning and durability a player grinding out long rallies needs match after match.

Apparel

Djokovic is the global brand ambassador for Lacoste and wears the brand at every match, from his shirts and shorts to his warm-up gear. Lacoste builds a signature Novak Djokovic collection around him, with new kits typically dropping ahead of each Grand Slam.

Strings and ACCESsORIES

Djokovic strings a hybrid setup: Babolat VS Touch natural gut in the mains and Luxilon Alu Power Rough in the crosses, at a tension in the mid-to-high 50s pounds range, among the highest on tour. The gut mains provide feel and comfort while the poly crosses hold up to his pace and add spin, a combination that lets him play a demanding tension without the harshness a full poly bed would bring. He also plays with a string dampener, pictured alongside his string setup below.

Grip: Head Prime Tour Overgrip

Djokovic wraps his handle in Head Prime Tour Overgrip, a tour-level grip built for tack and moisture control. For a player who has played some of the longest, most physical matches in the sport's history, a grip that holds up deep into a fifth set is not a small detail.
