Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, has secured two major sponsorship deals that underscore his influence both on and off the tennis court. In a monumental agreement with Under Armour, Djokovic signed a $97 million multi-year contract, marking one of the largest endorsement deals in sports apparel history. The Serbian tennis legend will serve as a brand ambassador, endorsing a wide range of products including footwear, apparel, and accessories. As part of the deal, Djokovic will collaborate with the company to design a signature line of performance gear tailored for both professional athletes and casual users.
This partnership is a strategic move for Under Armour, a brand looking to solidify its presence in the competitive world of sportswear. The company’s CEO, Kevin Plank, expressed excitement about working with Djokovic, calling him a “remarkable ambassador” for the brand’s values of dedication, resilience, and excellence. The deal comes at a time when Djokovic, known for his focus on fitness and performance, remains one of the top players in the ATP rankings.
In addition to this, Djokovic has also signed a lucrative sponsorship deal with a global technology company, focusing on his philanthropic interests as he looks towards life after tennis. This new partnership aligns with Djokovic’s long-standing commitment to youth education and sports development through his Novak Djokovic Foundation
. The dual deals position Djokovic to expand his influence beyond the court, much like fellow tennis icons Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, as he prepares for the next chapter of his career. These moves reflect Djokovic’s business acumen and vision to maintain relevance in both sports and the corporate world.
