Novak Djokovic keeps his racket ready

SportLocation Tennis Desk · 10 Oct 2026

Djokovic stays low with the racket in front, ready to move across court.

Novak Djokovic’s first move is a small one: knees bent, racket held in front, weight set to shift. From that balanced ready position, he moves across the blue court before making a raised swing.

The racket stays in front as he adjusts his position, keeping him prepared to react rather than committing too early. It is a useful detail in the sequence: movement starts from a compact base, and the next step can go either way.

The green kit stands out against the blue surface, but the tennis is in the feet and the readiness of the racket. Djokovic settles into a crouch again, prepared for the next ball.
