Novak Djokovic is making the most of his time in Saudi Arabia after competing in the Six Kings Slam, striking poses in a stunning desert-themed photoshoot. The Serb embraced local culture, donning traditional Sheikh attire for the shoot.

Djokovic’s Journey at the Six Kings Slam

Djokovic recently competed at the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Riyadh, where he received a bye into the semifinals. Despite his efforts, the World No. 4 fell short against Jannik Sinner, losing their intense battle for a spot in the final with a scoreline of 6-2, 6-7(0), 6-4.

However, Djokovic bounced back to claim third place by defeating Rafael Nadal 6-2, 7-6(5). This match was likely to be their final meeting ahead of Nadal’s upcoming retirement.

Stunning Desert Photoshoot

Following the conclusion of the Sand Slam exhibition event, the 24-time Grand Slam champion took to social media to share eye-catching photographs. Djokovic, dressed in traditional Sheikh attire, posed against the scenic desert backdrop in Riyadh.

He captioned the photos:
“Sand slam ️,”

Djokovic also showcased his “kingdom style” while exploring Riyadh, sporting a striking patterned jacket, black jeans, and matching sunglasses.
He wrote:
“Kingdom style ,”

Fans were quick to respond positively, with his wife Jelena humorously joining in, urging other women in the comments section to “calm down.”

Fashion Evolution: “I’m Receiving Help From My Wife”

Novak Djokovic’s recent fashion choices have turned heads, especially during the Asian swing, where he wore a neon green tracksuit inspired by 90s musicians. In a recent interview with TennisTV, Djokovic credited his wife Jelena and industry professionals for helping him step away from his “conservative” style.

He shared:
“I’m receiving some help now from my wife and also some friends and people in fashion. I’m getting some advice and starting to expand on what I can wear, and I started to like it a little more.”

Djokovic admitted that his previous off-court style was more traditional, typically consisting of jeans, chinos, and polo shirts, but now he’s embracing bolder fashion choices.
“I wasn’t really caring as much for fashion in the past off the court. It was more kind of conservative… but now I’m stepping out of the box a little bit.”

What’s Next for Djokovic?

Novak Djokovic will return to action for his title defense at the 2024 Paris Masters, starting October 28. He will be joined by fellow Six Kings Slam participants, including Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune at the Masters 1000 event in the French capital.
