Nov 6, 2024 - Nov 23, 2024
With 24 Grand Slam singles titles and still going strong, Novak Djokovic has separated himself from Rafael Nadal (22 majors) and Roger Federer (20 majors) as the greatest tennis player of his generation, perhaps ever. The question is not if but when Novak will secure number 25 to stand alone among men and women – Margaret Court also has 24 – as the all-time leader in major championships.
Presented here is special pair of Djokovic’s 2021 Rolex Paris Masters match worn and dual-signed shoes conclusively photo-matched to his Final victory over longtime nemesis Daniil Medvedev of Russia. The tournament's top two seeds played a thrilling three-set final match on November 7, 2021, at Accor Arena in Paris. Djoker dropped the first set only to win the last two for the title. It marked the sixth Paris Masters title for the Serbian sensation, surpassing Nadal with his record-breaking 37th ATP Masters title overall.
The 2021 season, made especially challenging by COVID and Novak's rigid stance on the vaccine, was one of Djoker's best. He became the second player in history (Nadal, 2010) to claim a "Surface Slam" by winning majors on three different surfaces – hard court (Australian Open), clay (French Open), and grass (Wimbledon) – in the same calendar year. Djoker finished with a 55-7 singles record, held the world’s #1 ranking the entire year, and became the new record-holder for most weeks at #1 with 353 (blowing past Federer's 310).
The ASICS Court FF2 player-exclusive shoes come in royal blue with silver accents and white ASICS logos on the sides, and Novak’s player logos on the heels. Accurate manufacturer and player tagging is present on the interior. The outsoles show heel drag from use on the hard court surface. The uppers and midsoles display ample wear as well. Sports Investors Authentication used the unique patterns and alignment on the midsoles to confirm the photo-match. Djokovic has autographed each shoe in gold marker on the heels.
Our consignor, who knows Novak and his inner circle personally, was gifted these shoes after match and had Djoker sign them in person. Includes full authentication paperwork from Sports Investors. Both signatures sticker certified by PSA/DNA.
