Novak Djokovic is set to make a striking entrance at the 2025 US Open with an all-black ensemble that breaks from his traditional blue and white attire. The outfit, designed by Lacoste, includes a sleek black tunic, matching wristbands, socks, and Asics shoes, creating a unified and dramatic appearance.
Symbolism and Style Collide
Fans have dubbed the look “villain mode,” drawing playful comparisons to iconic dark-themed outfits worn by Federer and Nadal in past US Opens. The choice of black may be more than aesthetic—it could signal Djokovic’s intent to dominate the court and reclaim his place at the top after a challenging season.
A Return to Competition
This year’s US Open marks Djokovic’s return to competitive play following a groin injury sustained at Wimbledon. He withdrew from both the Toronto and Cincinnati Masters, making Flushing Meadows his first hard-court appearance since the setback. Despite the lack of warm-up matches, expectations remain high as he prepares to compete in both singles and a revamped mixed doubles category alongside Olga Danilovic.
Eyes on a Historic Milestone
With 24 Grand Slam titles already under his belt, Djokovic is chasing number 25—a feat that would set a new benchmark in tennis history. His all-black outfit may be the visual cue for a renewed focus and intensity as he steps onto the court in pursuit of greatness.
