Novak Djokovic - HEAD Promotion With Maria
STARS TALK RACQUETS: Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova, in town for the US Open, attend a press conference to promote HEAD tennis gear at New York City's Benjamin Hotel. (Kristen Meriwether/The Epoch Times)
To start the very playful press conference, Djokovic came out in a blonde wig, proclaiming to be Sharapova, causing the press club to break out in a roar. The banter was a live version of the latest TV ad for HEAD, released just in time for the US Open, which can be found on YouTube.
The two sat down with MC Bill Macatee and discussed how switching to HEAD racquets have impacted their games.
Djokovic, who is currently No. 1 in the world ATP rankings, switched back to HEAD racquets at the beginning of the 2011 season after playing with them as a junior and then going with another company. This season has been the best of his career. He won 41 consecutive matches and has lost only twice the entire year, capturing a Wimbledon and Australian Open title.
He has the number-one draw at the US Open, but a recentshoulder injury has prompted questions about getting his season back on track. He said, "The shoulder is fine. I am going to be good for the US Open." The top-ranked Serb said that there is no structural damage but was just a result of overuse. As Maria Sharapova pointed out, playing 60 matches will do that.
Sharapova, who also switched to a HEAD racquet this year, explained how using the new racquet was a right fit: "I hit a few balls and just knew this was it."
Sharapova, whose love of fashion is comparable to her love of tennis, introduced her new HEAD bag line. Sharapova was a part of every step in the design processes, something she said she thoroughly enjoyed. The bags will be available worldwide at the end of the month.
Both Djokovic and Sharapova will begin their quest for a US Open title starting on Monday August 29 at the Billy Jean King Tennis Center in Flushing, NY.

The AO final is an all HEAD affair
Longtime practice partners Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will go Head-to-Head in the Australian Open final, and you can enter to win a stick signed by the champion.
Head has emerged as a big winner in Oz, as Djokovic and Murray will both be swinging one of the manufacturer’s racquets in the final. The company is commemorating the occasion by offering a sweepstakes for fans. Visit Head’s Facebook page and post your prediction of the men’s final for the chance to win one of five frames autographed by the 2011 Australian Open champion.
Murray, who plays with a customized version of the Head YouTek Radical Pro, reached his second straight Aussie Open final by defeating a determined David Ferrer in four sets. Ferrer had knocked out world No. 1 Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals and held a set point to take a two-set lead over Murray in the semis.
Djokovic and Murray were born seven days apart and their rivalry roots back to their junior days. When they square off on Sunday, they will be armed with the same brand and a deep familiarity of each other’s games.
“I think experience-wise we are similar,” Murray said of Djokovic. “There won’t be any secrets with our games but it’s going to be a brutal match. I hope it’s the start of us playing each other in big matches.”
Djokovic has won 12 of his last 13 matches at majors. The third-seeded Serb opened the year with new gear—Djokovic plays with a customized version of the Head YouTek IG Speed 18 x 20 frame and totes it in the autographed Djokovic Monstercombi Head bag—and has surrendered just one set en route to his second straight Grand Slam tournament final.
“I already won a Grand Slam, I just won Davis Cup and I’ve been playing at the top of men’s tennis for the last three or four years, so I have a reason to believe that I can reach the top,” Djokovic said. “I am working toward that. It’s my lifetime goal to be number one and to try to do that in the next year or two or three.”
Murray and Djokovic practiced together in Perth before playing the Hopman Cup at the start of the month. Djokovic holds a 4-3 edge in their head-to-head meetings, but Murray has won their last three matches, all on hard courts.
“It's nice to see somebody that you grew up with across the net,” Djokovic said. “We grew up together and basically made a breakthrough to Top 100 more or less at the same time. It's nice to see somebody doing well, the person who was your long time friend.”
